RIM: "Oops"

I don't know about you, but before I put anything into production, I fully and completely test it before doing so. And once testing is complete, I plan on implementation on a weekend, not a Tuesday evening.

I have trouble digesting RIM's explanation of the outage last week. They contend that this was supposed to be routine upgrade, and a service wide interuption was not expected. They also went on to explain, and I beleive to get sypathy from fellow geeks, that with technology, things don't always go as planned.

Beleive what you want, but I think there is no way that their explanation makes sense.

Blackberry Goes Down

Looks like Blackberry users will need to read and send messages the old fasioned way this morning. It seems as though RIMM is experiencing a system wide problem that is effecting all users in the US. RIMM stated that they need to "reset" their system, but are concerned that the backlog of messages will create an even larger problem.

I'm glad I have my Q using ActiveSync. Say what you want about Microsoft, but I can check my mail this morning. :)
