There's been an explosion in a power distribution center in amsterdam, over half the city is without power, and, as far as I know, the Nikhef building is competely powerless, Telecity is running on backup generators. Redbus building seems at least partially up, but the link between Telecity and Redbut is dead. Power company is working on the problem, but as yet, its a big mess.

80% of Amsterdam is without power, one AMS-IX site is without no-break power for an other few weeks, others are running out of UPS capacity.
Shit! Holy Shit! What will happen to all those grow rooms?

Only a small group knows what its about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses." --- Major General Smedley Butler, 1933 "Our overriding purpose, from the beginning through to the present day, has been world domination - that is, to build and maintain the capacity to coerce everybody else on the planet: nonviolently, if possible, and violently, if necessary. But the purpose of US foreign policy of domination is not just to make the rest of the world jump through hoops; the purpose is to faciliate our exploitation of resources." - Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General http://www.thesunmagazine.org/bully.html
