Last night's outage in Site Updates

Hi everyone, happy Sunday!
Last night some of you probably noticed that the site was crashing and the sad panda was on the prowl. This is the same issue PB has been seeing over the last several months, and SM was kind enough to jump in and restart the server. It’s a temporary fix, but we’re back online and stable for now.
Lt. Dan and I are still getting our footing, and this outage (which happened while both of us were away from our computers) was a good learning experience for us about logistics. We’ll be putting a contingency plan in place to handle this kind of thing in the future.
I’ve been having a lot of behind the scenes brain-dumping and strategy conversations with SM and Lt. Dan. We’re starting to dig into the code to get an idea of what kind of resources we’ll need to put in place a permanent fix. Until then, the panda may come out and play occasionally, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
And that light? It’s named Mochi:
(“mow-chee”)
Expect more in the coming weeks about roadmap and next steps.

MOCHI! That makes up for everything.

Perhaps Mochi needs a computer and password? 😉
I wasn't around to see the sad panda. Happy it was straightened out. Wishing you well for a permanent fix.

Thanks for keeping us posted. Mochi is too cute. Nougat sends "woofs".

The sad panda reminds me of the saying from Fooly Cooly. "Or a panda with a mean face" or was it sad? Sexual harassment PANDA!

Thanks for the update! And hi Mochi!!

I thought Dan and SM were one and the same? I wasn't around last night to notice but thanks for the update. :)
Cat Mommy Mystery ⋅ April 08, 2018
Dan's real name is SM but he doesn't like being called that here. Lt. Dan is Josh's new partner, not SM.

He's so cute.

Mochi and the Panda... I'm sensing an incredibly adorable Cartoon show in that somewhere!
TellTaleHeart ⋅ April 08, 2018
Maybe we need a Sad Mochi instead of a Sad Panda?
Miss Carrie B. TellTaleHeart ⋅ April 10, 2018
Yes! We totally need this. No one would even care that the site was down because we'd see a cute dog picture.

I think I saw the Panda once. But I actually went and watched a movie so must have missed the rest. And I have a lot of problems with my internet service (they say they don't have problems--HA!!) so usually blame them first anyway.
Gonewiththebreeze ⋅ April 08, 2018
Mochhhhiiii! He needs his own prosebox journal, the life and TAILS of mochi. Thanks for working so hard!!!

Sending internet scritches and praise to Mochi as well, what a good doggo ♥
Walking Crow ⋅ April 08, 2018

Look the panda!

m.i.a. ⋅ April 08, 2018
I didn’t get any sad pandas but it was a little slow, figured things would be resolved soon and here we are. Thank you all for working so hard for us.
Also still so happy he didn’t mind Lt. Dan. 😂😂😂
a mote, floating ⋅ April 08, 2018
Yay for Mochi mojo!
Thanks for keeping us in the loop, and good luck with the problem-solving.

I hadn't actually noticed the outage but damn, that dog is adorable.
NorthernSeeker ⋅ April 08, 2018
Thanks to all three of you for working on prosebox.
Swanny ⋅ April 08, 2018

Hey Mochi pup!
Hillbilly Princess ⋅ April 08, 2018
Thanks for the update. Love the puppy.
Laced Debauchery ⋅ April 08, 2018
Mochi is the cutest though.
Marg ⋅ April 09, 2018
Thanks for keeping us in the loop - much appreciated!
Mr. Mofo ⋅ April 09, 2018
Who is Lt, Dan?
Why does Mochi look like a meme waiting to happen?
If someone hunts down and kills all the sad pandas, will the outages stop? Just asking for a friend and I guarantee I will have an alibi.
simple mind Mr. Mofo ⋅ April 09, 2018
Whoa whooooaa there. Let's not be rash. There's more than one way to skin a pan.... umm.... what I meant to say was... if we're going to eliminate all the sad pandas, wouldn't antidepressants be the better choice?
Mr. Mofo simple mind ⋅ April 09, 2018
NICE! Although all sad pandas must be dealt with in a most severe manner.
josh Mr. Mofo ⋅ April 09, 2018
Violence is never the answer
He prefers “emochis”
Mr. Mofo josh ⋅ April 09, 2018
NICE!!!
Although I truly believe all sad pandas and unicorns really must go in a Sopranoish manner.
LotusButterfly josh ⋅ April 10, 2018
"emochis"
buahahahahahhaaha dying
Mr. Mofo LotusButterfly ⋅ April 10, 2018
Hey, I think I remember your name from Open Diary. Aren't you from Germany? Or maybe it was Argentina. Anyways, take care.
LotusButterfly Mr. Mofo ⋅ April 10, 2018
Lol! I am Latin yes, from
el Salvador but live Germany. Good memory! I remwmbwr your name, but unfortunately that’s as far as my bad memory goes 🙄

I am in love with Mochi. ❤️
TellTaleHeart ⋅ April 09, 2018
Also, I have to ask... is it "mow" as in "mow the lawn" or "mow" as in [rhymes with "cow"]?
josh TellTaleHeart ⋅ April 09, 2018
Mochi is very fastidious about his lawn care
Jeanine ⋅ April 09, 2018
I lost an entry, but it ended up being a good thing. Sometimes things need to be sucked into the ether.
Thanks for the PUPdate!
Deleted user Jeanine ⋅ April 09, 2018
Haha, yes! I think from now on they should be called Pupdates!

Mochi is too cute! I had I believe Japan Mochi in London yesterday.
I am assuming you love Mochi. I have not checked prosebox lately but glad to see its up and running.
:)
M ⋅ April 10, 2018
Isn't Mochi that stuff made from rice?
Mercurial Muse ⋅ April 10, 2018
I think replacingsad panda with a mochi picture is a brilliant suggestion!

Mochi made me smile, thanks

Would it be possible to see more/easier options for uploading photos to our entries? Like from our desktop or Camera Roll? I have a lot of things I'd like to share, but it's such a pain that I don't even bother.
