If it's about geocaching -- Let's hear it

I'm sure everyone has heard by now, but the datacenter that houses groundspeak's servers had a fire on Friday night. The fire took out the electrical switchgear rendering the datacenter without power. Although none of the servers were damaged, generators have had to be brought in. It's taking some time to wire them into the building.

What a time for something like this to happen.

They hope to be back on line at any time.

Those of us who have caches already in GSAK didn't have our weekends bothered though.

As of 7:25, they're back up -- excluding the image servers.

I souldn't expect any PQs for a while though.
