HeyDan Fire Sale

Heydan.com was down for a couple of hours today. In a testament to the global nature of our lives, there was a major fire in San Bernardino California. On the same block where my Web hosting company is located. The building lost power and apparently, the fire department would not let them back in the building to turn the backup generator on. Something foolish about lives being more important then e-mail. Shaa!

My hosting company (web66.com) deals with major and minor disasters and I never notice. Anyway, thanks once again for taking care of these things so I do not have to.

Correction, the fire was in a in downtown Baltimore, MD. Near the building, that houses the Network Operation Centers for a number of Internet Service Providers. This includes mine. The location is good because of its proximity to several major Internet pipelines including Level 3, AT&T, and Global Crossing converge. Early Monday morning, an underground fire caused damage to fiber optic cable that connects our building to other parts of the Internet.

Not that any of this really interest any of you. I just found it very interesting that I have no idea where heydan.com is physically.
