I haven't seen a thing (due to the weather), but I have
experienced a severe heisenbug day yesterday...
It looks like all events that disturb the earth's
magnetosphere have a very bad influence on computers,
especially those that don't have very good grounding.
I've had about 15 bezerko mouse / kbd events yesterday
and segfaults for processes that usually run stable for
weeks. Elsewhere in the world other people have seen
strange events concerning computers too -- a sparc
classic crashing _twice_ in a day, multiple errors in
computers that otherwise run without an error for
weeks on end, etc...
regards,
Rik
