Blog power outage tomorrow night (Grrr…)

23 Feb

Posted by Sam Jackson as Uncategorized

Though it is not Dreamhost’s fault, all my Dreamhost stuff will be getting some downtime tomorrow night starting at 1115 PST and hopefully not lasting for more than 5 hours. Apparently the power outage is caused because of… I’m not even sure why. The Dreamhost blog has it all here. This may also mean my e-mail will be down, which would be… bad. Very.

Anyhow, I think we will all try to cope? Sorry about this.

When my host (Cari.net) has a power problem, they have contracted on-demand oil delivered to power their generators… UPC…etc. I’ve never seen my host go down … not even for a minute.

I think it was a question of ‘building power’ rather than DH’s power stuff… so that their internet and all that jazz was out, regardless of whether their hardware was live. Not the best scenario still, I agree. If one day I become really cool and get a bigger readership I’ll be better able to afford something fancy like MT.

Who is Sam Jackson?

I'm currently a freshman at Yale University and I've been blogging about college admissions and higher education marketing trends since I began my college application process in 2005. I now also write about my experience here at Yale, and am an official Yale blogger. Click here to read my 'about' page.

Kind words about my blog:

Andrew Careaga calls it “a service to all of us in the higher ed marketing business.”

Christian Long says it has “dramatically inspired college admissions folks to take notice”

Bob Johnson says “I like [it] because I agree with so much of what he says.” and that “Paying attention what Sam writes will let you focus more closely on students who will actually attend your school.”

Karine Joly says my witty and fresh style “offers a rare glimpse at the mind of our elusive prospective students”

and TargetX calls my blog “good reading” and me “wise-beyond-my-years.”
