Because of very heavy lightning i Aalborg, Denmark the entire sunsite.dk machine is down. This afternoon there came a rainstorm over the northern parts of Denmark. Because of that, the entire sunsite.dk site went down. That means that the mailindlists and the webpage are down for the time beeing.

Unfortunately the UPS did not do it's job and the PSU in the server blew out. Sun has been contacted and they will bring a replacement PSU later this week (in a few days or so).

If you'd like to see how and where the lightning struck between 15:00 and 18:00 you can take a look at this picture from the Danish Meteorological Institute..

On behaf of the entire AWeb team,
Jens Dueholm Christensen <jens@amigadk.dk>

Well.. since the mailinglists are down I thought that people somehow should know.<br>
Just for curiosity I've got a few more pictures for you then (way way offtopic, but still) -
<a href="http://www.dmi.dk/vejr/aktuelt/200206181200/lynstor.jpg">this one</a> and <a href="http://www.dmi.dk/vejr/lyn/data/18201210flash.gif">this</a>.<p>
They show the lightning from between 12 and 15 & 19 till 22..<p>

Since sunsite.dk is SPONSORED by Sun they (yes, they - I'm not in any way related to sunsite.dk other than via the AWeb project and by the fact that I know a lot of the people running it) do not have any fancy SLA. They are working on it.<p>
During the evening I've heard that the serverroom smelled burned, so as of right now they are hoping it's just the PSU and not something "more" important..
