by François HodierneDans les les commentaires, à propos de l'usage du mot 'Cloud' à tout va:
how is this considered cloud computing?!
this is a simple web site that had its web server + data storage fucked. if they contracted all these things out to say amazon s3 or ec2, then we could call this cloud where it's more of an enterprise game (and basically them renting compute and storage in a big hunking datacenter somewhere with some makeup that you don't know about). there's nothing wrong with cloud, don't confuse the issue...
Ma.gnolia 'worst nightmare'
by François HodierneEarly on the West-coast morning of Friday, January 30th, Ma.gnolia experienced every web service's worst nightmare: data corruption and loss. For Ma.gnolia, this means that the service is offline and members' bookmarks are unavailable, both through the website itself and the API. As I evaluate recovery options, I can't provide a certain timeline or prognosis as to to when or to what degree Ma.gnolia or your bookmarks will return; only that this process will take days, not hours.
Most importantly, I apologize to all of you who have made Ma.gnolia a home for your bookmarks and community. I know that many of you rely on Ma.gnolia in your day to day work and play to safely host you bookmarks, keeping them available around the clock, and that this is a difficult disruption.
C'est moche :-/
