hiddenmuseYes, there was a power outage in San Francisco. No, it didn't affect me.
Basically, it hit the downtown/Financial District area(s). Power was out for a lot of companies and websites, some of the transit systems, too.
And, as you all may have noticed, the servers for Craigslist; LiveJournal; Yelp; and the PC World and Mac World websites, among others - were affected, resulting in the websites being down for several hours. {Edited to add the PC World/Mac World websites ... as Kellie reminded me.}
Now, everything is back to normal ... or something like it.
According to Valleywag, the rumour is that the outage was caused by a drunk employee who came into work, pissed off and fucked up a whole mess of things. Including websites galore.
