[DGHoodini]

Can't reach many West Coast Major servers /Backbone..

The "Big One" hit?

[skeeter]

Not unless I passed out & missed it.

[stuartcr]

Yep, slid off into the water, new coast line is in Nevada.

[Vendome]

pull your wire a little tighter.

Alls well....

[A_perfect_lady]

All normal here in L.A. ... no rattling, no explosions, and no more sirens than usual.

[skeeter]

On the other hand, the Big EMP One may have hit. I wouldn’t have noticed that, conscious or otherwise.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

We’re underwater.

All left coast Internet traffic is being diverted through Thailand.

[sarasota]

The Midwest had a crippling event this week where a number of cities and small communities lost the internet, phone service and cell service on some carriers. It was floated that someone had “cut a fiber optic cable” but many of us wonder if our paranoia is justified. Service was out for an entire day. I just heard Atlanta had this issue as well. Anybody else?

[DGHoodini]

Lex Luthor at it again? :)

But seriously, can’t reach Internet Traffic Reort, cant get any Speed Tests from the West Coast servers to respond...

[Blueflag]

No issues this week in Atlanta as far as I know. Been here all week.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Are you logged in?

[Scythian]

I heard it’s the solar flares, many sites are down, bodies are piling up in the streets as many have been having heart attack from the stress of not being able to get to their Facebook pages to see what Johny or Suzie had to eat last night.

[blkmontecarlo]

Everything A-OK here in San Diego.

[Retired Greyhound]

“What the hell is going on on the West Coast?”

That’s quite an open-ended question.

Other than the heat wave, we’re “CA” normal.

[Andonius_99]

Thailand?

[NavyCanDo]

You mean Left Coast.

Were cool in Washington

[Bob]

All normal in south SF bay area. As far as I know, the FR servers are in CA’s central valley. They’re working fine.

[Yo-Yo]

Aren’t the FR servers in CA?

[BenLurkin]

All is quiet in our little corner of SoCal.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Ok in Los Angeles County.(Hot though).

[ErnBatavia]

Other than the heat wave, we’re “CA” normal.

Heat wave for sure, even in the Coachella Valley - it's only 11am, it's pushing 112.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I hope not. FR is on the West Coast. Maybe this comment is being posted underwater!

Oh no! (Gurgle!) It’s up to my ...

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Yes...Several big ones hit just off Malibu........

[FourPeas]

Guess I sucked up too much bandwidth watching old episodes of Beverly Hillbillies. Sorry.

[andy58-in-nh]

[DGHoodini]

Just got LinkLine in San Fran reponding...Denver is running half normal speed, but I can’t get 77WABC out of *NYC* to play, or even fully load.

[BuckeyeTexan]

The red-head on the right looks like a supermodel compared to the other three. Mercy!

[DGHoodini]

I thought of that, But the DARPA base design came to mind.

[Cringing Negativism Network]

It certainly is hot.

Got me thinking. According to my calendar, full moon was Tuesday.

And according to (So)Cal folklore, this is textbook “earthquake weather”. Unlike the bay area, where the common perception is that cooler weather is earthquake weather.

Something to think about. Hot hot hot weather, and tidal forces.

[BuckeyeTexan]

I bet somebody unplugged a coax cable out there somewhere. ;-p

[PreciousLiberty]

It’s most certainly not solar flares.

[DGHoodini]

Speaking of “Gurgle”..I can’t reach Google...in California..

[Vendome]

Are you here or did you pull one of your disappearing acts.

[steveo]

Power is out... posting this on my pedal powered vic-20.

[JRios1968]

I bet somebody unplugged a coax cable out there somewhere.

Johnny did it...

[Vendome]

Oh, I hate you and hope I never see another post from you ever, ever, ever AGAIN!!!!

Dastard!!!!

[BuckeyeTexan]

Well, that could be a good thing. Just think about all the data they’re not getting at the moment.

[JRios1968]

I just came out of the shower...what did I miss?

[DGHoodini]

Did you ask me something? I missed it if you did.

If those four hit the water at the same time the oceans WILL rise.

[DGHoodini]

Somethings screwy with the Internet. California is still in one piece..In other words: SNAFU. >8o\

[rfp1234]

PG&E has been busy, temporarily cutting off power to businesses to install their “smart meters”[sic].

[DGHoodini]

Thank2s 5or the heads up,,,Now if I can only figure out why 77WABC won’t load/play...+

[ROTB]

>Yep, slid off into the water, new coast line is in Nevada.

The new “Lex Coast”.

[dragnet2]

Somethings screwy with the Internet.

There working fine here....It's probably the hellish inhabitable Ohio humidity and heat causing you problems. Check to see if ya got ticks chewing on your your system.

Bwahahahaha! I bet it was him. :)

One time, back in the day, I was writing some seriously hairy code. I was deep in the middle of it when ...

... the flashing green cursor on the old monochrome didn’t move. WTH! I yelled. Others came out of their caves. We looked at each other, eyebrows raised. Everyone started checking cables.

Two hours later we found the culprits. Two accounting chicks on another floor decided to rearrange their office in the middle of the day. They had unplugged the coax in their office after removing the piece of big,red tape over the connection that said “DON’T UNPLUG THIS CABLE!”

[dragnet2]

Make that uninhabitable....lol

[ScottinVA]

DAMN!!!! With no warning, either... AHHHHHH>> MY EYES!!!!

I’m posting from a life raft.
