http://www.caiso.com/awe/systemstatus.html is pretty interesting
reading at this point; so is CAISO document E-509, at the bottom
of http://www.caiso.com/thegrid/operations/opsdoc/emergency/ ,
which describes what a "No Touch Day" actually is.
I'm beginning to see how Sean gets so much inside info; all it
takes is to post to NANOG a bit, and people tell you all sorts
of things. For example, someone from Exodus just told me that
they "haven't yet made any changes." One would hope that this
is because they have more than 90 minutes of backup power.
Some of the downtown San Jose office space (such as the Bank
of America building) is being "quiesced" for the rest of the
day, because it is deemed non-critical.
