for those not in LA: fire vs. power lines
by Christopher 31 Aug '09

31 Aug '09

Hello... FYI for those not seeing the Los Angeles fires on the news constantly. http://www.ladwpnews.com/go/doc/1475/318099/ The Station Fire has the potential to cross and affect the Department's 500 KV transmission lines northeast of the Acton area today. These high-voltage power lines are critical to maintaining a steady supply of power to the city, especially as demand for energy rises throughout the day. To make up for the potential loss of power transmission, the LADWP has activated all in-basin power plants in order to generate energy. -- Christopher McCrory "The guy that keeps the servers running" chrismcc(a)pricegrabber.com http://www.pricegrabber.com Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.

Can't get into the switch serving Omaha from inside (my telephone lines) or outside (Verizon cell phone). Dunn o how big or what's broke.

Seeing lots of sporadic 'failures' etc very hard to pin down. Sites not loading etc. So far, one common thread is not being able to reach google-analytics and ilk. Anyone else seeing anything similar ? -- Brandon Applegate - CCIE 10273 PGP Key fingerprint: 7407 DC86 AA7B A57F 62D1 A715 3C63 66A1 181E 6996 "SH1-0151.

I'm seeing some minor packet loss traversing Level3 in Chicago. We connect to their network in Detroit, and we're clean until the first hop into Chicago. Anyone else seeing anything like that? --- Clayton Zekelman Managed Network Systems Inc. (MNSi) 344-300 Tecumseh Rd. E. Windsor, Ontario N8X 5E8 tel. 519-985-8410 fax. 519-985-8409

--------------------------------------------- The packet loss shown at hops #4, #5, and possibly #6 is either ICMP deprioritisation or high CPU utilisation on said routers. My vote is --------------------------------------------- You could know this if you used tcptraceroute instead: michael.toren.net/code/tcptraceroute There is something similar (but I can't remember the tool name) for micro$loth. scott
