Sorry for the outage

My apologies to those of you who might have tried to get to one of our sites last night. As you can see from this forum thread, our hosting provider was on the wrong end of a DDOS attack.

The nice thing was that the forum was available and there were timely updates posted to it, so I wasn’t left wondering why I couldn’t access anything, so I give them credit for that! Unfortunately, it was down until after I went to bed, so I couldn’t get aN.Y. updates out to folks, though I did post to Twitter about it, so if you follow me there, or any of the social media sites where my profile includes my Twitter updates, you would have seen it last night. Just goes to show, that there are plenty of useful purposes for Twitter.

    I discovered this little bit of disappointment with Evernote while prepping for our trip to NYC late last week (pics to come, soon, I promise!).

    I had been loving Gsyncit, as I mentioned before. Unfortunately, as with many other tools, an update created chaos with my machine tonight. When I opened Outlook, I was prompted to install an update to Gsyncit. I agreed to do that. Naturally, the install required me to close Outlook, which hadn’t finished opening in the…

    Bye Bye ReadTwit

    Back in January I wrote about Readtwit, an application that grabs links from your twitter stream and turns those links into one nice RSS feed. It hasn’t been perfect, but there is definitely some value in that. Unfortunately, today they announced that they are closing up shop. So, anyone know of any other tool doing…
