Back to the Dirty Side...

The facility I was at out in Kirkland WA experienced a power surge when something went wrong with a transformer outside the office park.

I've seen computers die, but I've never see servers throwing sparks, flame, and sizzling like bacon on a grill...at least a half-dozen of them at the same time.  Even protected by surge protectors they fried...along with blowing out the lights (and I mean explosive detonation).

Fortunately, It wasn't my job to fix fried servers.  Within 15 minutes I was on the phone to the airline getting an earlier flight.  So I'm typing this at 2:45AM instead of 9AM in the morning.

Nighty-night.

Here's a shot of Seattle from the Bainbridge Island ferry on a typical Seattle afternoon.  I forgot my camera in my motel, so I had to use my cell phone.
