It's coming up slowly, piece by piece. I'm still waiting on access to my machines.
It was out for about 30 minutes or so.
The IRC channel is a useful place to be when this sort of thing happens - not that I recall something this bad happening since I've been using Digital Ocean.
Since it's been 2+ hours now, I'll just say that an hour ago half my machines came up but the other half remains offline. I don't think they're still coming back up. Waiting patiently… by grousing on Hacker News.
While I came in here to defend Digital Ocean, I will say that I pay several tons for Digital Ocean and I'm having the same downtime. It's a power outage and UPS also failed. But I don't think the cost has anything to do with it. They're pretty well funded and have big goals.
We are experiencing a power outage at NYC1 and have engaged Equinix to investigate. Mon Nov 25 02:27:11 2013
