[GreenKeys] ITTY WAS DOWN

[George B.Hutchison]

Apologies to all.

 

I got home at about 1700 from a small electrical job I was working and my
wife informed me that we had had about a two second power outage earlier in
the day.

 

Rushing out here I found the entire ITTY Rack was dark, no power anywhere.

 

What ever happened to the powerline took the UPS and fried it.  It is now a
parts unit. 

 

In the process  of the UPS  being torched all of the computers had shutdown.
AUTOSTART System and Server came back up easily, GREENWICH was about the
same, but the ITTY Message Handler had files in  its folder that had no
relevance to it whatsoever. 

 

Removed the extra "visitors" and ITTY App would not fly.

 

The problem turned out to be that ITTY App had been corrupted such that it
would start and then end up sort of babbling to itself.

 

Ultimately planted an uncorrupted version of the app in the system folder
and ITTY is now back on the air.

 

During the evening Colossus the Linear also would not run. Checking that out
it seemed that both  240V 20 amp supply breakers would simultaneously trip,
but the fuses (15 amp) were intact. After about six tries Colossus came to
life.

 

This was not a good day in ITTYVILLE.
