    Gmail Down

    So, G-mail has been down for almost two hours, which is pissing me off. Sure it's a free service, and sure they still call it a beta program, but my God, these are the people that put up encrypted billboards to hire new personnel. You'd think some of the smartest minds in the computer world could fix the problem faster than this. I guess I'm a bit screwed for e-mail for now. Of course it's not like I was receiving a great deal of them anyway today. Poop.

    I know someone that works at Google. He said their philosophy for maintaining equipment is buy cheap cheap servers and buy lots of them. If one goes down, toss it and plug in another. The whole thing is a big accident waiting to happen.

    Well, any free e-mail system is going to be cranky at times. I'm just too addicted to it.
