Yes, that's right. The Planet exploded .

 

Don't believe me? Well then, look here. Ok, so it may be a little alarmist, but in a sense it's true.

 

I just love the ability to tell people that The Planet exploded, and that America is trying to fix it. It gives me a very Hollywood -esqu glow.

 

Seriously, though. It's made for an interesting day at work. While we only had two active servers left in that data centre, hosting a total of about 10 sites, it seems that our primary and secondary DNS for all our servers with The Planet were also in that data centre. Bum. If they were in different centres, we may have lost those 10 sites for a while, but as it is, we've got approx 300 sites which aren't down, as such, but are incommunicado with the majority of the outside world because their domain names no longer point to anything useful.

 

Anyway, it'll (hopefully) be fixed by tomorrow morn' and I'm sure we'll be questioning how the DNS was set up.

 

Back to telling people of the impending doom that is exploding transformers.
