Haha, meant to say 4:42am instead of 9:42am — sorry for the confusion! :)

Morning everyone! It’s currently 01:13 PDT — Just got an automated alert that zooomr is down… working to recover services!

Update (3:39a): We had a few hard drives on our database RAID crash — we’re restoring from the latest snapshot now…
GREENUpdate (4:39a): All Systems GO! We’re back online folks — sorry for the outage! :)

    Zooomr’s been down for me for three days already. I used to have the same problem with Google’s sites sometimes but that was fixed after setting up the DNS servers correctly. Unfortunately, even with the correct DNS servers, Zooomr still wouldn’t load…

    good luck with the repairs Kristopher, your hard work is appreciated.

    THIS POST IS FAKE

    Hey Guys,

    It’s 5am, and yes I am still very very close to releasing Malarkey 3.

    But actually I’m not that close because the dog ate my homework so, you know, what, what can you do in, in a situation like that, you know, so, erm… well yeah, so maybe I’ll, I’ll just keep posting BS, and and and, you know, posting some, sexy video teasers whenever I feel, erm, a bit, horny, you know.

    Anyways, I hope, erm, that, that compensates, for my professional, professional, attitude to the, promised, promised project?
    No? Then, then maybe, maybe another video will? Or how about 2?

    Yeah so, so if you were expecting this malarkey 3 stuff to be released soon, you know, online, try Fotki, yeah, I’ve, I’ve heard they’re gaining users by the day, or there’s, there’s also Picasa Web Albums, you know, they’re doing pretty good too.

    Erm… Ok until the next teaser, BYE.

    Oh, and it’s, it’s 6am, I’ve been up all night, working on malarkey 3, did I mention that? I haven’t been playing games and watching Family Guy, I’ve been working hard on the erm, getting the, the erm, the Fellangi’s of the, erm, servers installed, which were not, erm, supported, by the, the server people.

    So ok, I’ll get on with this, and, erm, erm, you just, just keep, reading my blog, because, it’s, it’s very interesting, and, did I mention that, it’s, it’s available, in erm, in 7 languages, yeah, lucky you huh? Yeah you can, you can go ahead and read, read, this sort of stuff, like, everyday, from whichever part, of the world you are.

    Ok, erm, peace, peace out guys. And keep reading my blog for any, any, erm, important, yes, very important, updates, to, to, to Zooomr.

    Now it’s, it’s like, it’s 7am, and wow I’ve had no sleep, I’m going to go to sleep now k?

    Ouch!

    Sad to admit, but there is something in this “Kristopher” post. Zooomr is made with passion, but there is not enough professionalism in it. It would be much better to announce that ZM3 will be released in June rather then posting new promises every week since march.

    the passion always prevails
