Server down. Brain up.

by Annette 8. October 2007

Last Friday our ISP's server was down.  No access to e-mail and it was quite a mind-blowing day.  Wow did I get a lot done.  And because I wasn't interrupted constantly, I found myself luxuriously spending hours working on projects that needed creative attention.  Flow is a great thing.  Everyone should do it.

So over the weekend I learned that Nationwide Internet had "lost" all the e-mails that came in on Friday and Saturday. Technical Support said that I should contact all the people that I think might have e-mailed me on Friday.  "What am I supposed to do?  Intuit the exact people that tried to contact me?"  Silence. 

So while I had a productive Friday, I am paying the price now; reconstructing the fabric of my communications web.  BTW, did you send me an e-mail recently?
