More on today's Gmail issue

I keep my cell phone next to my ear when I go to sleep. It is set to send out a piercing whistle I get an email from a particular address, which indicates that my website has been unavailable for 15 minutes. That whistle has gone off exactly once. (Credit more to Slicehost and my software stack than to me.)

You know who got blasted out of sleep at 3 AM because my email was down? I don't know, but it sure as heck wasn't me.

I did too, and I didn't get much sleep in those days.

Only people who were unfortunate enough to be working on the GMail team from UTC+7, perhaps UTC+6, instead of in Mountain View.

Luckly half our ops team is in a timezone 9hrs offset from mine, it is extremely rare for either team to have someone woken up in the middle of the night. Sleep is good.
