up and down

One never knows what to expect. No sooner did I have the WWP site
running than the entire campus suffered a power failure.
Electricity was off for about 15 minutes. Emergency power kicked in for
the seismographic station (they need to be up and running in an
emergency) but the rest of us were stuck. It seems nobody can do
anything without a computer these days.
My three servers (OS-X) came back within three minutes, but it was
another ten before the nameservers and routers recovered. No news yet
on what caused the failure -- this doesn't happen often.
