Into ActiveRain, Some Life Must Fall…

What a bummer! Rolling out of bed, I sleepily grope my way down the hall, pour a cup that has just finished brewing and wake the computer that has been resting on its circuits all night. I, like many other ActiveRainer's, Homebod's, Homebru's or whatever woke up to...


That sux. Feeling a bad case of withdrawals setting in, I go back to the kitchen and brew a pot of decoffinated caffeine. Gawd, what's a poor Rainer gonna do? Let's face it folks, there are just some things that go together like 2 peas in a pod - ActiveRain and my morning cup. Needless to say, it didn't happen.

<sigh> What I thought was odd was that the outage seemed to be sporadic. Some could get on some couldn't. Finally, at 6:30 this evening, I was able to log on. Oh well, maybe things will be better tomorrow...

I never had a problem getting on today but have had times when I can't get on but everyone else seems to be! Glad you are up and running again! (I am a time blocker so when something like that happens, it throws me off just a tad!)

The one morning out of the whole year that I didn't try to log on, sounds like it would have been a waste of time.  Glad you got on this evening.

Michael - I thought it was just me. I noticed some of my AR friends on FB managed to post, but I couldn't even log in. <sigh> At least I am getting in a few minutes today.

Michael - I just read your comment on my post and know exactly how you feel. Just be glad you didn't lose a lengthty, thoughtout  post with 18 photos that disappeared in cyberspace never to return like me this morning- ughhhh. Glad to see you're up and running again - I missed you and your daily post today!

I agree with Paul....it was a 4/1 hold over just to add a little AR spice to everyone's morning routine.  Glad we're all up and posting/blogging/reading again.

Hi Michael...In thought you were busy doing inspection, you were of course obvious by your absence.

Sure glad you made back onto the Rain

Michael- I didn't see this until this morning, which is Sunday. It must have been sporadic because I was lucky enough to get on early yesterday.

Michael, you would think by now Active Rain would have addressed the issues of scalability.  This problem should not be recurring as often as it does.

Michael, I talked to a few members and the service or lack of service did seem to be sporadic.  My issue was that I couldn't get on at the office to do what I needed.  I'm having problems with my home computer so I have to do everything at the office.  I will probably be getting a new computer soon and thinking about a MAC.  I talked with Craig about his, of course he loves it...he suggested I call you...and I will once I get a little closer to actually making a purchase...if you have the time.
