[AusNOG] Solar flare

[Peter Childs]

Perhaps its time to put some aluminium foil over the top of your Cisco AS53/4xx devices.

I am sure the number one reason these things spontaneously rebooting is due to cosmic rays (so I have been informed on vendor support tickets...)

Well that's for that...........that part IS obvious!

What side? What continent? Granted there is a global effect, but what where
is it localised?

Long since have the days been flat where the entire face of the earth points
to the sun/is flat.

Hmm, I may be missing the obvious, but everything I read speaks of the
potential impact, but does not speak of WHERE the impact/collision??
will be?

Hi people,
First post, so I thought it'd be a good one.
Quite large solar flare about to hit the earth - can't get too much more
interesting than that :-)
