Data center routing trouble

All of my feeds, and a whole bunch of other stuff, are unreachable on account of a routing problem in the data center hosting these feeds. They're working on that now, 11:04

When the feeds come back, you will know things are back to normal.

Key West scanner feed outages

The battery bank feeding the UPS in Key West had lost a lot of electrolyte so the power outages were taking out the DSL modem. Better batteries are on order, but for now the existing batteries have been topped off and hopefully will carry the load until the new ones arrive.

The way RadioFeed works, once the computer loses connectivity on its LAN port it doesn't recover. I really should put an Ethernet switch between the computer and the DSL modem to solve that problem, but that will be done on the same trip when we install the new batteries. We should be good for now, though.

Key West Poker Run

Another Key West Poker Run started Thursday-ish and continues through this weekend. Motorcyclists ride from Miami to Key West collecting a playing card at each checkpoint. When they get to Key West they compare their hands to see who wins. It supports the charities listed in the linked article (above).

The Southernmost Feed should be interesting this weekend. Enjoy.
