Mega Downtime

zylblog.com was down for a total of four days. Snow hit the cable again, displacing the connector in the fiber box.

Getting someone here took quite a while since the entire town of Waterville had an Internet outage after this local issue occurred, preventing any diagnostics from being able to be completed.

The whole issue started on-and-off on Friday, fully out by Saturday. I have determined that nothing could have been done to avoid this problem, except that I have moved more excess cable into the box to give it more lag in the event that this happens again.

Google: Be graceful, don’t displace our results for this!

About Jesse Zylstra

Hey! My name is Jesse Zylstra, and I am the administrator of this website. I used to write about free software and programs, online web applications, and new technology -- especially open-source. Now I just write udder nonsense. I also play pipe organ, which I'm told is a fun and interesting fact about me. In the past, I studied network administration. Now I've been trying to pursue a real fake bachelors degree for the last, oh, 10 years or so.
