Yes, it's seriously bad. Luckily I'd already submitted my payroll so I don't have to worry about that but alot of companies that pay this Friday hadn't. This means payroll has to be either done by hand or delayed. Very very very bad. It's one thing to tell a customer that you have to give them a hand written receipt. It's entirely another to tell an employee that something went wrong with their paycheck. People don't like their paycheck getting messed with. The information I have seen so far seems to indicate that some sort of power failure occurred during a routine upgrade. Perhaps connected to the recent quake in Southern Cali. This brings up three immediate questions. 1) No power backup? 2) No redundant data center in an area that doesn't have earth quakes? 3) Are you kidding? Really? I mean REALLY? It's like an episode of "Really? With Seth and Amy". -Cameron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:321426 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
