@benjohnbarnes Good good. I did submit it the other day, in case it hadn’t been seen, and it should get better as more links appear.

@seengee etc. etc. :) I don’t want miracles, but there have been a lot of dumb failures where startups have been obviously unprepared…

@seengee Is there a status page that can be seen even if the main server is down? Is there a refund/compensation policy? Are backups tested?

via Twitter Web Client in reply to robjmills

@seengee I don’t necessarily want guaranteed uptime. I want to know that the company has thought about what to do in the event of downtime.

@seengee Any way of exporting all your data in a way that can be easily re-imported is good. My recent thoughts: http://tinyurl.com/kv9849

@seengee ‘course, this all depends on what kind of startup/service we’re really talking about…

@seengee Or for downtime, I wouldn’t trust them not to be down. But having a policy of compensation for downtime in place would reassure me.

@seengee …but if they gave me a way of backing it up myself, then I’d probably take a chance on them.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to robjmills

@seengee Hmm. Would very much depend on the shape and size of the trust. I wouldn’t trust them not to lose my data, for example….

GTD sensitives out there who can feel the large procrastination field emanating from Bristol — relax. It’s just time for my weekly review.

Of course, now I’ve doomed myself to a ton of robotic auto-followers because I’ve mentioned their keywords.

Wish there were a separate Twitter where SEO-spamming webcocks could “help” each other while leaving alone people who actually have souls.

Mmm. Toast and loganberry jam. That was a good random purchase yesterday, then.
