A Gmail Greeting You Do Not Want to See

I got in to work today and was greeted by the following when trying to open my Gmail:

Gmail Server Error

I’ve seen it before, not often though, and rarely for more than a minute or so. Today it’s been at least 30 minutes so far. I guess this is a good lead in to a post I’m going to do shortly about how to backup your Gmail account using Thunderbird. Looking at my backup, the last message was received a little over an hour ago. I sure hope I don’t need to test my Gmail restore procedure today!

    I just got in, and everything is still there. Looks like the outage was about 1 hour, easily the longest I’ve experienced since I started using Gmail many moons ago.

  3. Hi, buddy, I wish to offer you my congratulations for developing this type of brilliant web site. The thing is, you’ve captured my fascination. And, I really do not quickly overlook people who catch my attention. What I really do to such people is that I bookmark their web sites and maintain a steady look on their posts to find out if they happen to be as good as the ones that I first read. Now, Beware: YOU happen to be at the top of my bookmark list!
