Power Outages Take Down Blogs

Equipment failure Tuesday afternoon knocked out electricity to tens of thousands of Pacific Gas and Electric customers on the Peninsula and in San Francisco — including PG&E’s own office and the Financial District. 365 Main, a data centre on the edge of San Francisco’s Financial District, was affected by the outage, taking down a lot of its clients sites including; Six Apart’s TypePad, LiveJournal, Vox, TypePad and MovableType; Craigslist; local listings site Yelp; and blog search engine Technorati; have experienced downtime today due to a power outage in San Francisco. Still not as amusing as the early rumours of a drunk employee killing the servers or the comments on the SFGate article claiming that zombies had taken over San Francisco and the argument over whether or not zombies are cannibals
