What do you get when you cross an XRG release with Murphy’s law? I can understand yesterday’s bandwidth fiasco, which was mostly my fault for not planning better, but this is getting rediculous.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, 1:30pm:<\/b> The power goes out. First thought: Ohh, shit. Second thought: No problem, got the servers on a UPS, everything should be fine. Went downstairs to check, things were okay, brought an extension cord over to power the wireless modem on the UPS as well, link went back up fine.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, 2:00pm:<\/b> UPS power runs dry. Thinking first thought a lot more now.<\/p>\n
So now I’m writing this blog entry on my Powerbook, hoping the power will come back on soon. The only saving grace is the XRG mirror download that I posted yesterday is listed as “Download 2” on MacUpdate. Of course, if anyone is linking in from anywhere else, they won’t be getting anything.<\/p>\n
So the lesson of today is… if releasing a software application, make sure you have your entire site hosted with a good hosting provider. Ohh, and the MacMini is still cool. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Update: Power came back on slightly after 3:00pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
