The Comms Room

So, fine, you get "Pompei on Elliot Bay" and everything west of Lake Wa. falls into the sea... but there's not enough sea there to generate much of a wave.

Adrian

Puget sound can have tsunamis. Its more like a huge bathtub sloshing though.

Miles Erickson

@Ward (shrug) Your own government produced this: pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/science/oceans/tsunamis/…

@Ward Based on this Canadian model, it looks an awful lot like even a coastal tsunami can do serious damage on the coasts of the inland Salish Sea, particularly if it happens to occur at high tide... and that the amplitude of the wave appears to be highest at the end of an inlet.

@Ward Also, the base map inexplicably misrepresents Camano Island as a peninsula. Someone should see to that.

@Adrian I've never seen a model of the sloshing before. It's kind of fascinating to watch. (Thank you, Canada!)

Ward

@MilesErickson Sweet, we're pretty safe here in Vancouver...

@MilesErickson Inlets are always the worst, you're talking about the same volume of water moving, but in a narrower channel, so it has to get higher/lower.

Looks like Discovery Bay will be toast... I like it there.

Miles Erickson

@Ward Looks like the only thing you have to worry about in Vancouver is your airport.

@Ward Oh, wait, that's just the Boundary Bay Airport.

Ward

The only reason the suburb of Richmond won't be wiped out by the tsunami is that it's a swamp so all the land will liquefy during the earthquake.

Jacob

5:15 AM

@Adrian start with a B and end with an E?

Ward

@MilesErickson I think the Island YVR is on isn't swamp, but it's not very high.

That map is a bit suspect, though... they seem to have forgotten about Pt. Roberts.

Miles Erickson

@Ward Published elevation is 12 feet. But Boundary Bay is the one that will get the direct hit, and it's at an elevation of six feet.

Jacob

~~I am~~ My family is so screwed in a Atlantic tsunami, I'll be 300 miles away at college

Miles Erickson

@Jacob As the Atlantic has demonstrated quite recently, it doesn't even require a tsunami in order to inundate you.

Jacob

@MilesErickson That storm was nothing to us...

Ward

5:18 AM

@MilesErickson Even if YVR gets shut down, there's Abbotsford.

Miles Erickson

@Jacob Which is good, since you don't have many earthquakes back East, save for man-made earthquakes.

@Ward Anyway, I'm on one of the few rocks in the San Juans that has its airport on top at >100 ft.

Ward

@MilesErickson Aren't you close to Friday Hbr?

Miles Erickson

@Ward About 7 minutes by air, or an hour by boat, yup.

Ward

Keep an eye on Alberni Inlet in the top left corner... Port Alberni (at the head) is completely toast.

Miles Erickson

@Ward Oh, wow. That couldn't have been designed to be a better tsunami trap.

@Ward At least there's serious potential for an effective warning system.

Looking at that sloshing, I'm reminded of how weird the water was in the Strait of Juan de Fuca a day or two after Fukushima. Big random waves.

Not the sort that would be dangerous unless one were swimming or crossing open water in a very small boat, but just weird and unsettling.

“We’re not able to give a number because we’re not able to see how many flights we’ve got on the ground right now,” Agnew said.

Jacob

@MilesErickson why would it stop them from taking off?

Miles Erickson

@Jacob Sounds like it's an internal dispatching system rather than a customer-facing ticketing system... sounds an awful lot like they have no manual backup procedures readily available.

Jacob

@MilesErickson Someone's gettin' FIRRRED

Miles Erickson

Maybe. Last year, Alaska Airlines had a major outage and it was due to there having been two simultaneous fiber cuts on Sprint's network in the same day.

Jacob

@MilesErickson Ya know, no-one knows sprint as a tier one IP transit company, but as a second rate cell carrier

Miles Erickson

Jacob

Shiney

Miles Erickson

One of the cuts was between Chicago and Milwaukee. The other was between Seattle and Portland.

Jacob

@MilesErickson My point was literally that, no one thinks about that part of sprint

Miles Erickson

Clearly, the network isn't quite as redundant as that map looks.

Jacob

@MilesErickson Sprint and redundant aren't usually used in a sentence

Miles Erickson

6:38 AM

@Jacob In this case, my guess would be that the line between Seattle and Kansas City in fact goes through Portland... it's either that or Chicago, or someone didn't configure a routing protocol correctly.

Jacob

@MilesErickson I don't know too much about geography up that way...

The emails I see at work :(

Hello,

We have received an alert that the server, not_pr0n-dc2, SNMP is not running correctly. We require the SNMP service to run to receive critical information on the health of this server.

For us to resolve this issue, we require a reboot to fix this issue. please let us know when we can reboot this server to correct this issue.

Jacob

@ewwhite wat?

That doesn't really make sense

ewwhite

that's from our company to a client.

it's wrong on several levels.

Jacob

Oh...

Still yes. Someone is still doing it very wrong™

I should say something.

"don't send that to clients... just fix it"

@Chopper3 wouldn't approve!

Jacob

@ewwhite Please do.. Assuming that is original in grammar/spelling I would drop your company if I saw that.

ewwhite

haha

I just asked the on-duty NOC.

those are windows servers. When the SNMP fails to come back after a manual restart, the server needs to be rebooted

Jacob

@ewwhite I told you like 3 months ago you needed me in your NOC....

and the department was turned upside-down

and to read between the line

Jacob

Ah

You guys still have NOC positions open, but I really don't want to move to NYC... Nor do I think that I could be legally hired anyway.

Plus, I've heard from countless people to go to college, otherwise, I'd come straighten out your NOC for you.

CNCP Telecommunications

CNCP Telecommunications (Canadian National-Canadian Pacific Telecommunications) was an electrical telegraph operator and later as a telecom company. CNCP was created as a joint venture between Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway in 1967, replacing the different networks used by the two railway companies (CN Telegraph interchanged traffic with the Postal Telegraph Cable Company in the US while CPR Telegraphs networked with Western Union). The two networks, former rivals, had been co-operating increasingly since the 1930s By 1980, CNCP was no longer a telegraph company an...

I dropped it at a remote office to act as a information gatherer through Cacti, smokeping, OpenNMS, and also do some other fiddly bits.

I was shocked at the size. I sat it next to a ML 115 G5, and they are nearly the same.
