Reason for outage

Just want to let the readers know that the outage was created during a system upgrade.

We use Microsoft Velocity as our in-memory cache, it was failing because the host server was down.

Took many days to fix, and even I missed using the portal the whole time. I am trying to transition to a state where we have no more outages eventually....

If you have any request for new features, let me know.

Working with iPhone 3g in India

I recently got a new iPhone 3g from my warranty and currently in india for vacation. I am sure there are others out there in the same condition who want to use the iPhone 3g with an Indian carrier. I the phone unlocked and Then using Airtel prepaid with it.

To get it unlocked, ensure you have a wifi network to access, keep the AT&T sim card inside the phone and then run the Blackra1n utility from mac or windows.

After it is done and rebooted, install cydia and the unlock utility from inside the blackra1n iPhone app. Thus needs wifi and will unlock the phone for use with Airtel.

I tried pwnage + mac but had issues and errors in that unlock process. Ensure you have a phone backup before you do this. Airtel 2g definitely faster and more reliable than US At&T, but MTNL has 3g here, so I might move to that later. Vodafone does not have extensive coverage here, hence, I went with Airtel which had coverage even in remote areas.

Airtel 2g does not work by default, but requires you to sign up for that Rs. 500, one month GPRS plan. Not a bad deal.

Today American Website Up

Right now the web site is up and running fine. No more changes or outages for a long time...

Apologies for the continuing Today American outage

I have been trying to fix it for many days now. I feel the pain.

Bloody windows 7

What is the point of having a lousy operating system when it can't even copy files from one drive to the other?
