So I wonder what the delay is now since this article in the SF gate website - http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/07/24/BAG9NR67253.DTL&tsp=1
shows the power was restored by 4pm and it is now past 5:30pm and SL is still down. Would be nice if there was an update to the blog.

still lookin for teh hippos .......*ducks*

Some people have been in world this entire time, apparently.

The biggest issues now, are whether data was lost/corrupted and whether it is even safe yet to let the rest of us back in.

[UPDATE 5:34pm PST] The professor's idea of having Gilligan peddle the bicycle to generate power was working great until his legs got tired. Now the Skipper's having a go, but it doesn't look good...

What's very strange is that the facility in SF where the SL servers are housed has 10 huge backup generators:

Each of 365 Main’s five national data centers is equipped with powerful back-up generators to ensure customer uptime in the event of a power outage. In 365 Main’s founding data center in San Francisco, the company maintains ten 2.1 MW (megawatt) generators manufactured by Hitec. These generators, known as Continuous Power System (CPS) generators, run 24 hours a day, ready to deliver 100 percent power to the data center in the event of an outage.

As part of a comprehensive preventative maintenance program, 365 Main tests each Hitec generator once a month by running each of the 3000 horsepower diesel engines for two hours. By replacing a dated, inefficient generator-testing procedure, 365 Main reduced utility power consumption by as much as 12.5 percent during monthly tests…

[UPDATE 5:44pm PST] The Grid is back up. To help offset any financial losses incurred by residents during this downtime, we are reducing the price of the Large Gold Second Life Logo pendant from $220 to $214.99. This is a limited time offer, so log on to Firstbling.com now.

Yes but trillions of backup generators won't restore corrupted data. The server itself stayed up, and people stayed inworld all of this time.

I don't know how to check if there was a rollback, I presume not since some people have stayed logged in all of this time.

Noooooo!!!!!!

I crashed!!!

It was that "Mangled Network Data" error that plagues me and boots me off every now and then so I think not related to the server.
