 Chele join:2003-07-23 kudos:1 | Got a better one for you, we have actually been paid by manufacturers to test their equipment. We had one manufacturer that was paying us $1500/month to just run ping tests between their AP and one CPE. I felt really guilty about taking their money, but unfortunately the testing stopped:(. |
|
 | Wow. Tell you what: Since I'm such a stand-up guy, you can let me take over for you next time. You won't feel guilty, and I'll be more profitable.
Win win! |

 | reply to jcremin 10 4 good budy, your coming in LOUD and clear!  My My that was a very long outage. |
|
 jcremin join:2009-12-22 Siren, WI kudos:2 | Yeah, I couldn't help but keep thinking about the irony in a site having such a poorly implemented backup plan leading to a multi-week outage, when the main purpose of the site seems to be criticizing other internet companies for their shortcomings...
Seems like a bit of a double-standard, but I'm just glad they are making progress getting stuff restored. |

I came to that thought too, ironically. -- If you have a topic in the direct forum please reply to it or a post of mine, I get a notification when you do this.

 | reply to jcremin So where did everyone hang out while this was out? I'll admit I found my self going in circles trying to get my fix of news and posts from this forum.. |
|
 jcremin join:2009-12-22 Siren, WI kudos:2 | I mostly just ended up actually getting more work done... And checking the google doc about every hour to see if there was any update.. lol |

 Chele join:2003-07-23 kudos:1 | reply to jcremin I think it was the Sunday after the site went down, the fellow in charge(and he made it seem as if there was only one person) mentioned something about his son's 6th birthday. To me, it came through as if he was having to choose between working on the system or attend the little boy's party. At that time I thought to myself, to hell with it, it will be up when it's good and ready. Let the guy have a life! |
|
 jcremin join:2009-12-22 Siren, WI kudos:2 | Yeah, I think most of us can sympathize with that situation. Sometimes people just need to be patient and realize that they won't die if their internet is out for a couple more hours. Especially if it is just a web site. |
