Earthquake

[RRAdam]

So, if you didnt know, there was a decent sized quake over in asia.


I know there are a few of you that may frequent boards that are hosted over there... You're access to those sites will be impaired.

Also - if you need motherboard drivers for your PC, forget about it.. hehe...

about 90% of internet connectivity to asia is impaired or completely gone. There is little to no physical connectivity to southeast asia, and therefore most of asia as a whole since taiwan is a major connection point for all of asia. There is still some physical connectivity and the wireless connectivity remains, albeit latent (as usual) and oversaturated. There was a deep fiber cut in the pacific, and is being worked on, but will probably take some time. I will post updates as I hear them, but this looks like it will be long process of recovery. I imagine most external business and market transactions will take priority and thus less (but hella noticable) impact, while internal and otherwise expendable traffic will take a backseat (pretty much most of your asian websites - hence my statement about your motherboards - try http://www.soyo.com.cn/ for example). I need not mention this was a bad time for this to happen...

Glad I stopped f*cking around with PCs a long time ago........

For the important question - were there any fatalities or injuries?
