Apologies for so many repeat emails!

Ashraf December 31, 2012 10

Hey,

Lately, it seems like dotTech has been having server issue after issue, and I seem to be apologizing a lot. However, when an apology is due, I’m not one to stand by.

Today dotTech had an issue that overloaded the CPU on our server. This not only caused dotTech to crawl at a snail’s pace and generate 500/503 and database errors for about six hours, but it also caused some dotTechies to receive dozens of the same email. Sending the same email multiple times was not, and never is, intentional — it was a mistake related to the overloaded CPU.

I sincerely apologize to everyone! I have taken care of the issue now (I hope) and you should no longer receive dozens of the same emails.

-Mr. Boss

No excess email received here. Servers have issues now and then and deleting any excess is not a problem! Thanks for all the info. you share!

Thanks for keeping us informed.

Kinda’ thought it might be a server issue; Was receiving the same message about every 15-20 minutes.

Thought you REALLY wanted us to read that particular bit of info! Got to say, I am really not THAT into Font management…

Cheers,

I figured you were just sharing the love, Ashraf — I got quite excited about all the dotTech mail ’til I realized they were repeats. LOL! No harm done. Here’s to a fabulous 2013 for all.

No apologies necessary; ever. Stuff happens. And as has already been stated deleting excess email has never been a problem for me.

You’re doin a fine job.

Happy, Happy!

Tell your isp to get theses xD

This is the new model of the Commodore 64 (It’s a PC in a old fashion shell) =)

But considering this weeks issues I think they might as well downgrade to the originals they would have more stability.

None the less I’m glad that the issues are getting resolved… as for multiple e-mails that’s what gmail tags are for..

I second David’s sentiments! Besides, I’m not too bright and have to re-re-re-read everything anyway. So, the repeat emails actually save me time by eliminating my having to scroll back to the top. :-)

HAPPY, HEALTHY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR !
