Power was restored to most of the University of California, Berkeley, after a massive explosion left one person hospitalized for minor burns, and forced a campus-wide evacuation Monday night.

Last night there was a power outage that affected the entire Berkeley campus. The data center, where our servers are located, does have facility wide UPS so all servers stayed up. Unfortunately, the data center air conditioning did not stay up. Machines were getting hot, so the data center staff had to bring them down.




All of our servers seem to be OK with exception of marvin, the AstroPulse database server. Marvin appears to have been rendered nonfunctional, although we have reason to believe that the disks are OK. In any case, we have a backup of the database. We will be bringing marvin back to the lab tomorrow for a postmortem.

Maybe it is just an evil alien plot to shut down SETI so that they can continue to hide among us. Or maybe the aliens eat copper. Or maybe....

Or maybe it has something to do with just being on the LEFT coast?

Darn it! The ONE time we could have actually found E.T., they knock out our SETI servers so we're running blind! :)) :D haha

We had a batch of immigrants coming in and we did NOT want you to see where they were dropped off! :p

PLUS you keep trying to shoot us down!

Then we had to pick up the ones that wanted to go back to their old home!

Is there a private space where we can believe in our normality?
