    Typical that it would die on the day that I suddenly really need it to get something for my boss.

      Funny enough, CP works fine for me, but gmail is down and ( this is the funny bit ), so is our companies mail server. I can't get to mail of any kind, but I can browse the web.

        GMail working for me now. But, when I clicked to reply in CP, it threw this error: Error: Transaction (Process ID 86) was deadlocked on lock resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction.. Ticket:

                I wish I could remember the original author but there was an excellent post on Gmail's "downtime" I read a while ago. Basically the author was wondering out load why people got in such an uproar over Gmail going down. To put it in perspective he compared his ISP's email with Gmail and here's what he came up with: 1) If the ISP email goes down they do nothing typically until you alert them to the fact, Google notice it and have it up and running (usually in 10s of minutes). 2) If something goes wrong with the mail servers at the ISP and you don't have a back up, tough luck typically. Do you ever actually lose stuff in Gmail (beyond you not finding it) 3) It's free and powerful and overall just works. It was much more eloquently put than that and that's all I can remember at the moment but 1 struck a chord with me. You don't actually notice it typically but Google are one of the few companies who will notice a problem and fix it before the majority of people notice. After all who can winge about a few minutes downtime (what it was for me) rather than potentially losing data and taking hours if not days to sort properly with additional work from you.


                I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it. - Chris Maunder

                        Hey Rama, I remember you talking highly about Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture[^]. I managed to get my hands on the book, but what I'm finding it rather hard to follow because of all the "branching" - a single page refers to four or five other patterns, and that page refers to four or five others, and so on. Assuming my memory is right and you did read and like the book, how did you approach it?

                        Regards Senthil _____________________________ My Home Page |My Blog | My Articles | My Flickr | WinMacro
