  7. Yay!

    I really hate discovering how fragile our super sekrit distributed digital communications network is. Something something single point of failure blah blah.

    Oh dear, whatever would bin Laden do?

  8. It's the current that matters, not voltage.

    Maybe Blogger is a version of my mom, telling you to get outside and get the stink offa ya.

  9. Yes. This. Squared.

    I'm going to move my blog. Don't know where but Jesus Christ on a Saltine, if this happens every time they do "regularly scheduled maintenance" the world is fucked.

  10. Well, to be completely fair, by definition they do 'regularly scheduled maintenance' on a regular schedule. And it seems that we never even noticed before. So yeah, this time they screwed the pooch.

    But that then leads to the question is a smaller provider with fewer resources than Google more or less likely to go down than Google is? For that matter, your hard drive can crash, your modem can fail, your ISP can go dark, some backhoe operator with a drinking problem can cut a fiber-optic cable and bring down the connections for a third of a metro area.

    IT operations professionals have determined that the only way to prevent outages is redundant redundancy. Two (or more) connections. Two or more ISPs. Data replicated on multiple servers in multiple data centers in multiple regions.

    Frankly, until my blog is making me seven figures, I can't be arsed. I'll live with blogger....

  12. Look at the hilarity provided by Althouse's response.

  13. What's up with blogger? Gee, can't a girl take a week off without everything going to hell?

  14. I love Althouse's response. "I like Blogger but I can't have faith in them after my blog was down for a whole day!" I suppose this means she disconnected herself from the electrical grid after her last power outage.

    I always think about leaving Blogger (especially after I started using Wordpress to manage my company's blog) but I'm lazy as shit.
