Webmessenger Mac Flash8 HTML bug

Macromedia released a new version of their Flash player. With this new version they added better JavaScript interaction, but changed the way they do it. Because of this, our example code for the Webmessenger will cause a JavaScript alert. We recommend removing the following else clause from the ic_DoFSCommand or wm_DoFSCommand function in your HTML:

else
{
alert( "Command (fs): " + command + "\nValue: " + args );
}

Thanks,
Nate

Userplane Service Interruption: 9/12/2005

Userplane experienced a major failure of its datacenter today (9/12/2005) @ 1:18PM PST. It was caused by a massive power outage that affected most of Los Angeles around 12:50PM. Our datacenter, which hosts many large scale sites including myspace.com, has 30 minutes of reserve power via its generators which is supposed to take up the slack until the building's generators take over. The building's generators did not come back online and therefore after 30 mins, everything went down. Along with the other datacenters in the building, we will be launching a major inquiry into this generator problem to ensure it does not happen again.

Thanks,
Nathanial Thelen
CTO, Userplane
