Outage!

PrintWell that sucked.
Apparently there was a major outage with some provider that took down all of SBNation this morning, along with god only knows what else. What had been a very interesting morning to watch the Giro turned into... well, an interesting morning to watch, without the benefit of our site. Fortunately, there wasn't a whole lot to discuss, as (unfortunately) Gabriele Bosisio crashed out of what might have been a terrific move, leaving a harmless breakaway up the road and a mass sprint behind.
We at the Podium Cafe apologize for the outage. It won't happen again. No, really... actually we're in our third season and this is the first such occurrence, so I'm unconcerned. Still, we guarantee 100% satisfaction with this site, so every registered user will receive in their bank account this morning a sum equivalent to your Podium Cafe registration fee.
OK, no more screwing around. Back to the action... Cheers!
[UPDATE] The situation has been diagnosed and the problem identified:

PdC: Buffering... Buffering... Buffering...
That has to be a first… PdC down… but C.TV running strong!

And here I thought that
PodiumCafe had just been acquired by JumpTV.

I'm thinking that C.TV blocked PdC
to support their own “community.”
Chris needs to set-up a back-up server in North Korea so this never happens again.
I think we all know what REALLY happened...

No, no, this is the guy who normally powers the PdC
And here we see him awol, while the Café was down.
I assumed
this was just a trick by my company to get me to do some actual work this morning, but I wasn’t falling for it! Not when I could still follow the live tickers.
Have to agree
there was a thought that it was company IT banning me although ctv was coming through just fine. Too funny.

Funny
Right at the same time PC crashed my whole DSL went down. Missed half the race but then it was fixed. Weird morning.
If you live
in the bay area, it may not be a coincidence.

hahaha
That’s almost exactly what happened, except that during recent Pedal Power negotiations we weren’t able to secure Armstrong, and had to settle for the cast of Breaking Away. Some of them are getting old, as you can imagine, so they’ve grown a bit sluggish. We’ve doubled their water rations.
We’re also working with our hosting provider to avoid these unexpected outages, and internally to sort out ways to recover from them more quickly. Thanks to ya’ll for your patience.
I'm one of four guys who built SB Nation 2.0. We are like the Borg, but friendly and with better features.
Oouch! LOL!
My friend was in that movie and I can assure you, he’d still kick most asses on the bike. LOL!

OK
Which one? Tell!!

I thought for sure you knew this...
Christian’s dad John is one of the Cinzano riders!

Oh my sweet Jesus!
I thought the firewall at the office had caught up w/ me and the jig was up.
Whew! I feel like an addict who just hit the rock!
In other technology news, I just realized where c.tv got its multi-screen inspiration: the Defense Travel System. Spunout will probably know what I’m talking about: the most user unfriendly travel booking system ever devised.
Lance must be out of shape
what with all the partying and the starlets…
And what is the bay area connection to this?
Honestly
I don’t know where our equipment is, but I think it’s in the bay area someplace, which makes me assume that the location of the crashed provider is nearby, but I have something less than a clue what I’m talking about.

There is no reason you should know
where they actually host the site as long as they live up to their SLA. If they don’t, you can hire Sui to throw media related legal jargon at them, as opposed to salmon related legal jargon…
Yeah
somehow I don’t think complaining about the returns per natural-origin spawner is going to get me anywhere.

Couldn't we just cut out the middle man
and throw salmon at them? I think it would be more affective in the end.
