Power outage? Interesting -- Linode also went down today because of power outage: http://status.linode.com/2011/08/outage-in-fremont-facility....

So that's what interrupted my screen session.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Linode doesn't notify their customers affected by outages, or am I missing something?

I've been notified for what amounted to two minutes of downtime before (my VPS is in the London data centre). Are you in the Fremont data centre? That is where this outage was.

Yes, I have a machine in Fremont. How were you notified? Email?

They don't. They do have an RSS feed that you can monitor with your favourite feed aggregator: http://status.linode.com/rss.xml

Thanks for the link.

If anyone is interested, ServerDensity thinks that our machine went down between 6:37 and 6:42 BST.

As an AWS customer affected by this, that's the time our servers went dark.

Yes. An email about unexpected downtime, then another two minutes later saying the downtime was over.

Has anyone gotten any timeframe when the rest of the RDS is going to start responding? Not much info on the status page of AWS.

Hmm, I don't see any way in my Linode account settings to disable these emails, and I never received any! That is disconcerting. :(
