ctually began with a configuration change that affected the entire internal backbone. That cascaded into Facebook and other properties disappearing and staff internal to Facebook having difficulty getting service going again.
Facebook posted a further blog post with a lot more detail about what happened. You can read that post for the inside view and this post for the outside view.
At the end of the day THE [DATA] TRAFFIC between all these computing facilities is managed by routers, which figure out where to send all the incoming and outgoing data. And in the extensive day-to-day work of maintaining this infrastructure, Facebook's META engineers often need to take part of the backbone offline for maintenance — perhaps repairing a fibre line, adding more capacity, or updating the software on the router itself.
This was the source of yesterday’s outage. During one of these routine maintenance jobs, a command was issued with the intention to assess the availability of global backbone capacity, which unintentionally took down all the connections in our backbone network, effectively disconnecting Facebook data centers globally. Their systems are designed to audit commands like these to prevent mistakes like this, but a bug in that audit tool prevented it from properly stopping the command.
This change caused a complete disconnection of Facebook's server connections between their data centres and the internet. And that total loss of connection caused a second issue that made things even worse.

960's. It was a particularly mind-blowing experience for me, as a dyslexic 3D thinker, because my own vision as a child, was of a future time when we would be able to personally experience a simulation of the reality, such that we would not be able to tell the difference between the simulation and the reality. Many moons later in California, whilst speaking to the female dyslexic designer of the very latest Silicon Graphics CGI workstation, I was introduced to Thomas West's enlightening book, entitled IN THE MIND's EYE; as a result of which I helped to set up an event of the same name.
THE original TED talk on YouTube and the associated RSA animate, marks the beginning of an AWAKENING to the fact that - CREATIVITY for the purpose of POSITIVE ENHANCEMENT of the EVOLUTIONARY ADVANCEMENT of the entirety of our multiverse of universes - IS of THE most paramount importance with respect to the appropriate design of a sustainable solution for ALL of LIFE throughout the ENTIRETY of EVERYTHING !!!???NO WONDER therefore that Ken Robinson then went on to propose the question ...

the need to acknowledge the concept of ... SEEKING LESS AND LESS ... ABOUT MORE AND MORE NOT MORE AND MORE ... ABOUT LESS AND LESS

ller in the HISTORY of ART from his home city of Nuremberg he crossed the Alps more than once in trecherous conditions, staying in icy mountain shelters. The ship on which he sailed for six days to see a beached whale in Zeeland was almost lost in a winter storm. He lived in Venice in times of cholera, and possibly picked up malaria on a trip to the Low Countries where he was astounded by Aztec gold in Brussels and the Van Eyck altarpiece in Ghent. And all of these journeys were undertaken during outbreaks of the plague" and so you can only just imagine how disappointed I was also, that as far as the National Gallery's Exhibition in, London was concerned "the strange creatures, saints and distant landscapes depicted by the great German artist were thrown together with the work of lesser painters in a show that veers between wondrous and inexplicable." What an absolute shame therefore that although "His travel journals are full of astonishing sights – soaring comets, conjoined twins, the bones of a giant (which in fact belonged to a whale). He sees, and draws, girls in Dutch costume, Turkish merchants, African women. Boats lie at low tide in the port of Antwerp, fantastical castles rise on pinnacles above the river Rhine. There is a sheet of magnificent sketches of dozing lionesses, a blue baboon and even an alarmingly sharp-eared lynx in the new zoos of the Low Countries, alas only the last appears in this long-anticipated exhibition devoted to Dürer’s travels. To say that the experience in the Sainsbury Wing is baffling would be an understatement. Veering between wondrous, meandering and occasionally inexplicable, this is a show without a map."

My own journey of life, having been encouraged by my mother and

of the discovery that GOD has NO RELIGION - consequent to my

evolution of consciousness.
No closer to THE TRUTH of the theory of everything - have I found,
