Subject: Server down

At about 3:45 local time we experienced a complete loss of utility power. At that time we switched to generators. While on generators a capacitor in UPS 1 exploded. Once utility was restored, UPS 1 did not successfully handle the transfer and dropped its load causing a partial power outage on the data center floor. At this time, power has been restored to all affected servers and Eaton personnel are onsite effecting repairs the the damaged unit. We plan to have full UPS coverage restored in a few hours.

What was the status that Gixen gave the snipe for item 162134633231, on the Main and the Mirror tabs?

It is possible that if you scheduled it only just before the auction ended that you were too late... or that the website interface was operational slightly before the back end sniping service came back on line.

When Gixen came back up, I scheduled an auction but eBay's bid history on the item indicates that no bid was ever placed.

My sincere apology to affected users. Primary ISP (datashack) had an outage this evening.

Still investigating and waiting response from them. Apparently this lasted some 4 hours.
