A catch phrase will go here soon.

We may have just stopped sucking

3/30/2005

Well, the new server we were supposed to get last night was never delivered by our hosting company. However, Brian did have an extra web server and moved Engadget to it last night.

Today it seems that every thing is running really fast like faster then ever. However, noon is when the traffic wave really hits so I’m interested to see what happens in the next three hours.

What’s really frustrating about this is that one of the first things I said when we had problems was get a second web server (after I said get a second SQL server last month when that was having problem). If we had done a second web server last week we would have not had any of this downtime, and the speed would have been amazing all week.

Ugh.

Hello, my name is Jason. Welcome to my blog on the interwebs. You can reach me on twitter @jason and by email at jason@calacanis.com. My Skype is jasoncalacanis, and my mobile phone is 310-456-4900.

I only pick up numbers I recognize, and in terms of emailing me, the best strategy is to write short, blunt and to the point requests. I can quickly respond to short messages, and many times I simply don't have the time to read five page pitches. In terms of taking meetings, I only do that after reviewing an actual product (not a business plan). So, the best time to ping me is when you have mockups or an alpha site. I don't read business plans, and I've never written one.

Other twitter accounts you can follow: Video Games, Open Angel Forum, and LAUNCH Conference & Newsletter
