Now What?

It turns out Google is having some challenges today and some of their services including Google Drive are inaccessible at the moment.

It's a good reminder of a few things...

  1. Have a back-up. Even the biggest, most safe and sure things fail. Things break...all things.

  2. Do the work despite the failure. Take advantage of it. Perhaps the firehose has been paused just long enough...focus even deeper. Enjoy the moment of silence.

  3. Freaking out doesn't solve the problem. Respond, don't react. Take a detour. It might lead somewhere interesting. Or, obscure.

The server is down...doesn't mean we need to be.
