Why is it that everytime I mention "not having downtime," something causes 
downtime? :)  

In case anyone noticed the outage we had tonight, and for those who 
didn't: one of Worldcom's routers went on vacation for about 6 hours 
tonight.  This wasn't at all related to the Rhythms -> Worldcom switch, it 
was a random hardware failure.  

Kudos to the guys at ORI and Worldcom, who responded within 30 minutes of 
my call.
