Apparently my Twitter client was not configured to notify me by default. My bad.
Thanks for the heads up.

Did you bring enough internet for everyone? Cos if not then no-one gets internet!
If only this was how it worked. We could give the internet to some kid living in an off-grid village somewhere, and all the tech bros and moguls would fall over themselves to make sure all the villages in the world had access, just in case they were the village where the kid lived.
(Change the kid frequently so no-one can discover which village.)
Another low tech option, with most of us checking in daily - can we have a site email account that @LockeCJ has set to notify him when email comes in so that if someone tries to get on to the bbs and can’t, we can shoot an email over with a heads up?
The only problem with that is that people need to remember to note down that e-mail address while the site is up, because it’ll be inaccessible, along with everything else, when it’s needed.
I think if we do something obvious like elsewherecafe@gmail we can remember it.
Ok, hmm, I am going to send an email now so I have this in my contacts. Maybe then I’ll remember it.
Maybe something that would be easier to remember…?

We could even start a spreadsheet…

I have it as a note on my password manager entry.
All according to plan. Heh heh heh.
I wish there were a handy adjective to describe my feelings about the recent outage…
Just don’t let it turn you cynical.
(To be fair, I don’t think that Cain became CEO until the mid-80s, but still…)
Now you have me craving Little Caesar’s again.
Wait… what? I’m confused now!
