LJ returns, not that it should have gone anywhere in the first place...

[bjarvis]

LJ isn't such a huge portion of my life that I was severely inconvenienced by last night's outage. God knows I had enough other things to work on.

Still, how is it that a single power outage can take down the entire system? Do they not have backup power, servers distributed between more than one data center to provide redundancy, etc?

Six Apart, you're looking like a bunch of high school amateurs. Time to step up to the first tier of professionalism.

Proving once again it's hard to make money from 'free'. Although they have a growing population of paying customers, I suspect they have millions of free-loaders, just like me! I wonder what their revenues look like?

Still, I'd expect a lot of these companies to host at a hosting company with multiple redundant power, POPs, network routers etc. The IAGSDC web site does after all! (see http://www.serverpoint.com/english/ournetwork.phtml for a diagram).
