BEHIND THE SCENES AT ROOTSWEB: EXCERPTS FROM THE STAFF DIARY

2 Sep 1998 (Dr. Leverich) There's an awesome thunderstorm in Bakersfield, and
DataCourse lost power long enough that they blew through their battery
reserves. They *just* got power back, but it may be a while until bak-12 fscks
and comes back. I may be launching for Bakersfield with one of our generators
and some of our power conditioning gear before long, just for safety. Julie
and Myra, we may have to delay the RWR. Losing DataCourse means we lost some
of the outbound bandwidth the RWR consumes. We're holding the RWR and ROOTS-L
digests and a few other odds and ends until the site is full up again.
