Amazon Power Failure knocks out QRZ for 12 hours

No Worries with you guys at the con.
We all were aware of the storms that hit the DC area.
The least of our concerns are our forums.
Bless the folks who have suffered greatly and continue to do so because of the storms.
We'll be patient considering the infinately more urgent collateral human concerns!!!
Thanx Guys!!!

Fred,

Glad to see QRZ back on line. That was a bad set of storms - tore up South Bend, IN and parts of Ohio south of me pretty good.

That power failure in Northern VA knocked out power for my sister in Leesburg, VA too (went out 11PM last night and power company is telling her Monday before they get power back).

Stay safe and thanks for your extra efforts to get QRZ back on line.

Fred is a good guy, I don't care what Glen says about him behind his back.

Fred, my thanks to you and all who work with you to keep QRZ on the air! When it went down it left a hole, I didn't know how to fill........now what was it I used to do??????
73s, Gene

 

I missed it. I was doing OTHER things...

• Actually operating my rig, catching up with some on-air friends.
• Meeting face-to-face with local hams over coffee.
• Working on a few small items for my tower & big yagi project.
• et cetera...

Still, I'm glad Fred got QRZ back online.

 

The cloud paradigm isn't contrary to the primary principles of design for the internet. A proper cloud service would easily survive a single data center outage.

 

Gave me a chance to mow the lawn and change the oil in 2 cars lol.

 

I trenched the coax for my new antenna.

 

Thanks Fred, you and your staff are the BEST! 73, Mike

 

A day without the QRZ forum, is like a day without sunshine.

Facebook was working good !

 

LOL, Sue! ^5

Dat wuz funnie. I musta been asleep, I never missed QRZ. But, when the power goes off
here, we can't do anything, we're all ELECTRIC.

Fred,
No worries, Brother. We're bound to get a hic-up every now and then. That's what makes
LIFE so interesting, it's never boreing.

GOD BLESS,
73,

And folks are all fired up to get on "The Cloud" Here is a great example that the cloud is a disaster waiting to happen. Avoid the cloud like the plague!

 

Based on your knowledge of qrz.com's infrastructure requirements and budget, what would you recommend for hosting?

As soon as things were working again, I knew there would be an entertaining string of "cloud sucks" comments from a group of armchair experts.
