Australian Parliament Webserver Down

It appears that the Australian Parliamentary website went down, yesterday from anywhere between 10-15 hours – no warning, no maintenance message.  Balneus reports on it in two separate posts.

Oz Parliament Website Dead

Implications of off-line parliamentary webserver

Who or what was responsible?

Balneus posits some possibilities, from cleaners tripping over the power cords to filter testing , to gross incompetence of Parliamentary IT staff.

It will be interesting to see if this gets any media coverage.

    Update here on continuing problems (errors and/or poor performance), with links to see for yourself and report on what you find. Now looking like senior parliamentary IT managers have stuffed up delivery of a new system and crashed the site.

    I think you are thinking like sukrat, but I think you should cover the other side of the topic in the post too…

    大変ですよね、就職活動

    就職氷河期、それも超就職氷河期{と言われる時代に突入しようとしています。

    この、就職氷河期は並大抵の努力では乗り切ることが困難と言われています。

    {米国、アメリカのサブプライムを皮切りに引き起こされた|世界同時不況とも言われている}今回の不況、それこそ数年間にわたって、世界経済に{影響を与えます。|インパクトを与え続けるでしょう。}

    この時期の、今のあなたが直面している就職活動というイベントは、あなたの人生、就職人生の大きなウエイトを占めることとなります。

    {昨年までの就職活動状況とは180度転換した|就職活動は、技術と知識で乗り切ることが出来ます。}就職氷河期、絶対に後悔しないように全力で戦いましょう。
