When Good Routers Go Bad
I know that I said I would be back around Monday. Well, that didn’t happen.
Our new office has a few problems… gas and air conditioning both failed over the weekend. But, the real failures started Monday. First, our Linksys WRT350N failed. Then, I managed to brick my iPhone 3G (no, I wasn’t hacking it, simply [...]
Last Night’s Downtime
Late last night, we had about two hours of downtime. This was due to a power outage in the datacenter which our server is housed in. Actually the power outage was longer than that, but battery backups kept us running for awhile.

Update: Fixed. We found a bug in WordPress… you can read about it here.
Back and at CTIA
My week-long move is over. Unfortunately, it’s not the last move, we have one more to make… we’ve moved to an interim location while our final office is being finished right now.
But, the good news is, I’m here on-site at CTIA Wireless IT 2008, once again in San Francisco. Full coverage begins tomorrow.
