Today's fire and electrical power cut affecting the financial district of Vancouver has left an important hole in the Internet e.g. encrypted email service Hushmail is currently offline

Will William Gibson write up a first hand account ?

Is his own internet connection affected ?

Oh that's right, there's a big server farm in that area.

My office is outside of the affected area, luckily (or unluckily Razz )

Our internet is not affected. Telephone/ADSL is OK, it seems to be power in a finite area that's a problem.

Big web outages in south-east Queensland this morning as well. Is there Something We're Not Being Told?
