Have you ever had the feeling that your heart was racing 90 miles a minute? Felt the hairs on the back of your neck stand straight up like toy soldiers? Experience the sense of overwhelming doom and destruction? No? We’ll that’s the feeling you would get when you think you’re server just got hacked. We at PopScreen just experienced that a little while ago. But it wasn’t due to a hacker but a misconfiguration on our end. Thanks Kenneth! j/k Anyways, this fire drill taught us an important lesson… backup, backup, backup. Not only that but make sure you have measures to ensure what to do in the case of an emergency. Whether that emergency be a house fire, hurricane or downed server - you always need a backup plan. Also, to any of our users who experienced glitches in the system such as not being able to sign in or save videos, we apologize. The downtime occurred over the last 4 hours. Above is a picture of Kevin (The Chief Architect) as he was getting Serve’rd. You can see the anxiety in his eyes… almost as if he was turning more and more into a vampire or some other weird creature of the night.
