the sixapart bastard child
Looks like Livejournal is finally back after the big power outage. (What went wrong, anyway? Where was the redundant power?) However, let's have a look at
http://status.sixapart.com, in order from first to last ...
( timeline and ranty bits )As of the time of this post, it's still not completely back, according to the status page. Why is LJ at the bottom of the heap? I feel like a third-rate customer at this point. Oh wait, I am third. It's not that the power outage significantly affected my use of LJ, since I happened to be at work for the whole time it was out, but that just happens to be a function of the time zone in which I live. Surely Six Apart doesn't
really think of Livejournal as the free ad-infested giveaway public blog offering. Or maybe they do, and that's why we have useless cruft like
virtual gifts instead of
actual useful features.
Okay, I'm done kvetching.
Update: Looks like I
wasn't the only one that noticed.
