Humming along!
Being down for 91 minutes yesterday easily raised the company blood pressure a good 91 points. But, we’ve added infrastructure, built out our failover plans, and collectively breathed a small sigh of relief.
I think it may be a rite of passage for a web startup to go down at exactly the wrong time, which in our case meant having just been posted to lifehacker and embedded in hundreds of sites.
Here’s hoping we got ours out of the way early! In any case, we’ll go into our weekends feeling good again, and taking comfort in knowing that downtime problems are only problems because so many people care.

Hey Guys, Kickass!! I love the timeline - Lose the blue line which points to the point in the X-Axis below.
You already have enough affordance by making the event tag point downwards and I think showing the red vertical line on hover should suffice.
The blue lines clutter and overwhelm me. Now that I’ve hammered that one pretty hard, don’t you think that its a waste of space to leave the entire Y dimension un-utilizied?
Great job nevertheless.
