Colour me suspicious
Nov. 4th, 2006 02:28 pmColour me suspicious but I don't believe a word of what the LJ corporate lackeys are saying about the current service disruption. Apparently a full system outage was caused by scheduled maintenance on one of two power supplies. That just doesn't compute. They obviously ballsed something up but aren't saying.
Currently, Live Journal Status Report has a message timed 4.38 pm GMT that reads:
Now, 4.38pm GMT is 8.38am PST (ie local to the data centre) which isn't evening by even California standards. It looks like they are trying to hide the fact that they have been clueless since some time yesterday evening California time by messing with the time stamp but not editing the message. This would at least be consistent with the apparent timing of the outage.
So odds on some kind of refund or even an apology?
