It's crazy - we never even lost power through two hurricanes. But then old Nstar goes to upgrade their transmission lines, and poof! Down for like 6 hours.

Greetings all!

Most of Cambridge, MA had a bad power outage this afternoon - still not sure why.
Unfortunately, that meant our servers went down as well. We had auxilliary power come online soon afterwards, but the servers don't like being shut down without warning, so they took a little coaxing from Vladimir, our resident server ninja.  smile

So: Sorry for the outage! We've got things up and running again, so thanks for being patient and ...

(how else could I end this post?)...

Scratch On!

My sister (who goes to MIT) said there was a rumor that a deer hit the subway. It has a not really funny Twitter, mbtadeer, but there are a few parts I can't link to.

Also, I was hoping that the outage (before that temporary page was posted) meant that the Scratch team was updating the website for Scratch 2.0. Too bad.  sad   I'm still waiting for that November update!  tongue

Re: Power outage at MIT

I thought that you were actually switching to 2.0 and that the power outage was just a coverup.  tongue

Nice. Doesn't sound good.
By the way, It is pretty easy to download scratch 2.0 with out being on the test team (according to my friend).

At first, I was going 'OMG 2.0!!!' because it said on the picture that they were doing work on the site, then a few seconds later I saw that it said it was a power outage.
Thanks for the false hope for a few seconds!

Glad the power outage is over though

exactly what I was thinking.

I'm sure we can roll out 2.0 way before 2061!  If not, I won't be around to see it - unless I can live to over 100  smile

I was hoping more in the region of Scratch 4.0 (at least) by 2061.

It's a bad running joke I've started on the forums, because of the first announcements of 2.0 a few years ago saying it would come out what I think is something like 1 year ago.

Yeah, power outages happen very easily sometimes.

Re: Power outage at MIT

hi, I actually go to school in a local prep school near cambridge and our power went out too. I was told by the school that the system needed some work because of Hurricane Sandy but it took longer than they expected to fix it.

One time a raccoon chewed a powerline near my school and the power went out in the middle of the school day. (EARLY SCHOOL RELEASE YAY!)
