Yo, so like 7PM ish, blackberry and email stop working.
Shit.
we start to get on it. I come in from home at around 12:15AM.
Working till around 3, still can’t figure out what the fuck is going on. Noticed that a couple websites weren’t responding very well, but most of them were ok.
Notice gchat kinda signing in and out. But didn’t think anything of it.
5AM, everything miraculously decided to pop back up.
FUCK, THAT.
Cogent, Internap, Global Crossing, Level3 ALL had major network outages. We didn’t get an e-mail because… well - exchange couldn’t receive!
Would this problem be filed in the “Gremlins did it” folder in the file cabinet?
I hate problems like that, because when the non-IT people ask “what happened?” you know in the back of your head that it just fixed itself. Try explaining that to them…
