anyone into electronics can answer me this one: http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/50445/voltage-between-ground-and-positive-negative-terminals-is-this-correct up_the_irons does it really matter if its the slave? HighJinx: no :P HighJinx: the answer i voted for is good i think yea. most of my pus's are still the pico psu's o.O autocorrect on textual sucks, you cant have a persistent leave it off... jbergstroem: i've not received anything from pingdom or my own monitoring system today, fwiw. jlgaddis: this was saturday (EST) oh, sorry, didn't see the "Day changed to ..." on my screen. didn't receive anything saturday either, though. obviously, that's not 'proof' of anything but it would seem that whatever you experienced didn't affect everyone. jlgaddis: i kinda blame pingdom, that's all everytime i've spoken to their support, they give me crap or template answers and they've already sent me 2 false alarms (one global which they even rewrote backlog for !!!!) heh, nice their mail here: http://hastebin.com/gelerumoxe.txt i don't use them extensively (only for up/down monitoring of my own monitoring servers) but i've never gotten a false positive, afaik "You can be sure that someone will be wearing the stupid hat today." heh heh thing is, if i get an alert on a saturday night at 11pm; i kinda assume its for real if you even doubt those alarms its pointless jbergstroem: yeh, and there's a reasonably high chance an alert will be at an annoying time of day. jbergstroem: *nod*
