They are saying that linodes are on their way back up. Not mine though... alas. Anyone else have any more luck?
Still waiting. There is a queued task to restart the server about "36 years 10 months ago".
I had just brought up a new instance. Why not choose Fremont? It's right down the .... oh dammit.
That's a good case in point. In general you're better off choosing locations further away from where you live/work to prevent issues like this where your office/home and datacenter could be affected at the same time.
So... they ever heard of redundant power generators? Does anyone know what happened exactly?

I get access to Twitter via IRC by using Bitlbee.
I don't use Bitlbee, but I had no idea that it supported micro-blogging. I thought that it was just IM protocols.
There is also a Twitter/Jabber gateway for those not using Bitlbee: https://www.tweet.im/
Latest News: 3:30am (EST): Some hosts were damaged by the power outage and we are working on moving these Linodes to hot standby equipment. Please tell me that doesn't mean potential data loss!

The just queued the restart at some very low value of a unix timestamp, which translates to 36 years ago. Strangely, not the unix epoch at midnight Jan 1 1970.
FYI, it uses the epoch of caker -- i.e. the birthday of caker, Linode's founder.
