So had a four hour power outage last night. Pretty sure we're down to 2 nines of availability for the year.
You'd think with all the new Smart Meters that
Pacific Gas and Electric Company should accurately know about power outages in near real time. Instead of alerting on their usage graphs it appears that the primary feedback mechanism is phone calls.
I've asked for a callback. When I do I'll post it to the Postmortems community. Ought to be interesting...

No, this isn't today's doodle. It is some very creative high-speed liquid photography.

Have one can of blue paint left, should we shoot Facebook from it? :-)

And here's the official word on the Azure outage.
"However, the team failed to flag the storage service release as a release that included certificate updates. Subsequently, the release of the storage service containing the time critical certificate updates was delayed behind updates flagged as higher priority, and was not deployed in time to meet the certificate expiration deadline. Additionally, because the certificate had already been updated in the Secret Store, no additional alerts were presented to the team, which was a gap in our alerting system."

#ifihadglass I could safely post more photos like this.
(Note: I was stopped in traffic for this one)

Just so you know the background here. Moving to the new fetcher triggered this. This also happens whenever we add a new datacenter. The NY Times staff figures this out pretty quickly and we have notified them of this issue.

Yes, this is real.
The Great Wall is a 100' x 100' video installation in Oakland's Uptown neighborhood that displays all kinds of videos.
Wow at that rate.. you might only be at 1 8 by the end of the year.
