Internet is Out in Our City

Update: As of 9:50PM we are back-up and running. I apologize again for the short outage, and I will be talking to the cable company ASAP to see why our Internet Connection went down. If you have any questions contact us at: http://www.ReimagineMemories.com/contact

Thank you for using Reimagine Memories,

Hi Everybody,

I wanted to let all of you know that the Cable Internet for the entire city is out right now (At home I have DSL, which is what I'm on right now), and has been for the past 20 minutes (It's 9:40 Pacific Time on Wednesday). Once the outage happened all of us at the company get text messaged and then all began to man the battle stations by coming in at this late hour. We got there to find our systems are working perfect so we call the cable company (They provide our Internet connection), and were told the entire city is out right now. I wanted to let you know that we are down, and we have no ETA of when we will be back up. With such a big outage affecting so many people I doubt it will be long. All of our systems are working wonderfully and will be back online as soon as the Internet connection is restored to Simi Valley, CA.

Sorry about the outage, I wish it was our problem so we could fix it.

I'll let you know when everything is back up,

Free Upgrade to 500MB of Storage Space

Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone,

To coincide with Labor Day we are ironically working this weekend on adding new features and switching over to our new Internet Service Provider. The most exciting feature is we are upgrading everyone's free accounts to 500MB of storage space and every new account will also receive 500MB of storage instead of our previous 100MB of space. We know how much digital media all of you have, and how that media continues growing more and more making 100MB of space just not enough anymore. We heard your cries for more space and decided to implement the 500MB of space to satisfy your digital needs. As the site continues to grow we will continue upgrading accounts every few months, but if you have a ton of files the best option is to sign-up for our Premium Account to receive unlimited space.

The next exciting news is that this weekend our amazing Chief Technical Officer, Daniel Story, is reinstating the edit and delete features that have been missing from the site for the past couple weeks due to our platform switchover. Those as well as a quick login button on the front page should be added to the site by Tuesday. We also have a ton of other features in the pipeline right now such as more tutorials, an easy to use sharing page that allows you to post your files on other sites, public profile pages, and much more. This weekend will also mark the beginning of our first set of ad campaigns, which will run all throughout September.

The last development of note over here at the Reimagine Memories' headquarters is we have switched providers. We no longer are hosting the site in a third-party data center, but instead at our own data center at our offices. All of the servers are in the brand new rack system from APC that we got last month, and we have new servers along with much more capacity. Our new Internet Provider is Time Warner Cable, which allows us to grow our bandwidth with just a quick phone call. With back-up battery power along with a gas generator as well as full earthquake mounting protection and fire protection, you can be assured your files are safe with us. We also do full back-ups all of the time to insure that even if our office was attacked by aliens your files would still be safe.

And on that note have a great and safe Labor Day weekend. Be sure to share all of your memories from this weekend using http://www.ReimagineMemories.com
