Squall's a comin':Early yesterday, (Aug 3, 2011) two active regions on the Sun, sunspot 1261 and 1263 unleashed solar flares, which was captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The video shows an M6 class flare from 1261 in a couple of different wavelengths. SolarstormWatch, a citizen science project through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England predicts the solar storm from the larger flare to reach Earth at 15:00 UTC on August 5, 2011, and also predict direct hit on Earth. Somewhere between 7am and 10am tomorrow morning in the states. Interestingly NOAA's space weather team thinks that since the flares are moving at different speeds they may overlap.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

The VPN thing is a good thing on this side of the aisle. When the VPN goes down, that is when my phone calls increase with the vocalized tears of "OH NOES WHAT DOING!?!" Sometimes I feel my job is 90% moral phone support. |

I'm sorry ma'am, there has been a solar storm which is having dire effects on the intrawebz. But there are ways that may remedy the situation. Do you have any aluminum foil in the house...?
