Snowing in the Salem Area

It has been a crazy few days. Temps having swung widly from 15 degress Farenheit to 40 degrees. It has also been snowing off and on with 2 inches on Sunday, showers on Wednesday and Thursday, and another 1.5 inches on the ground today. I’m always complaining that drivers in Oregon can’t handle the snow and I’ve been lucky (so far!) in not getting into an accident.

gMail 502 Outage [December 2008]

I’m seeing a rush of traffic again due to a 502 error in gMail.  This outage is being reported by the gMail team and it looks like they are shooting for a resolution by this evening. I haven’t been hit with it yet, knock on wood, but it would appear a lot of others are. I’ve put together some tips on surviving gMail outages and I would love to hear how you are making out in the comments.
