My Email Provider Is Down

Fastmail rocks. I sing their praises. But the primary datacenter is down for the count this morning, which means they’re offline despite the fact that FM’s failover and replication procedures are excellent. [And honestly, I foresee them addressing the single-point-of-failure datacenter in the future; they're awesome like that.]

So if you need to email me, well, hit me at work or GMail. And if you don’t have either, well, tough for you—not putting those here on the site. :)
Update, 0747: And we’re back. :)
Update, 2032: Indeed, now they’re going to work on redundant uplinks, as that was the issue. This is why I spend my money with them.

    Any thoughts for using Google Apps for email? It’s free and is never (knock on wood) offline.

  2. Geof F. Morris:

    I don’t want to give the GOOG all that data.

  3. Ron Davis:

    I suppose. Is it paranoia or just CYA? ;)

  4. Geof F. Morris:

    Both?
