Amazing Video On Failure of Ma.gnolia
February 17th, 2009
Really great video on the technical problems that caused ma.gnolia to go down, and continue to be down. I learned some great lessons from working at John Wiley, i think we actually had to restore from tape a few times.

Hey Ben,
Thanks for linking up the video. Glad you enjoyed it — many people seemed to find it useful, so I’m glad I could be a part of it!
Randomly, I’m thinking of visiting Reykjavik in May… not often that I get over that way — perhaps we should grab a coffee or something?
