You're killing me, Smalls!

Upto this point I have had no complaints about Blogger.com, but this last week has been horrific. I truly hope they have fixed the issues because I have been operating above and beyond my patience quota. Blogger.com was also down most of yesterday as well.

Wow. Ok. So it hasn’t been Blogger’s weekend. Blogger was down for a little over three hours this evening, due to the near-simultaneous failure of a critical component and its backup. This outage also impacted the loading of many Blog*Spot blogs, which rely on Blogger for a CSS file.

We apologize profusely for this outage. Blogger should be working as normal now. The new version of Blogger in beta was not affected.

We’ve been having a bit of slowness this morning. Technicians are on the scene. Update, 11:15: Most of the problems are resolved. Thanks for sticking with us through the maintenance. Blogger will be running a bit slower than normal for a short time (possibly for the rest of today) as we have a handful of servers out of commission. If you see any error pages, please just wait a sec and try again.

Apologies to everyone affected by tonight's Blogger slowness. And super apologies that said slowness prevented us from updating this page in a timely manner.

Some users are experiencing problems with uploaded photos (truncation or not showing at all). We are investigating this problem. If you experience any of these issues please report the blog and image urls to Blogger Support.Update 9 PM (PST): This problem has been resolved.

Are You the PC FixIt Guy for Friends and Family?

Have you ever had to help friends or family troubleshoot their computer over state lines? LogMeIn is a nice remote access tool that will allow you to see what they see on their PC. I have used NetMeeting to do this, but to get all of the ports forwarded correctly is a nightmare with most routers nowadays. Have those friends and family signup for a free account and install the free software and be up and running. Good luck with all that! ;-)
