Fishing on the weekend - loads of fun

I have just synced my camera so can post some of the photos:
This is the first day's catch.

and this was from the second day.

It was a nice weekend break and Kim even did a little relaxing on the beach (without getting sun burn).

Amazon S3 down again

Here is the thread on their forum:

http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=23285&start=0&tstart=0

It is making some of my sites look bad as I chose to put all the css and images on S3 so they would be severed up in a distributed fast manner. However, that speed is not being appreciated right now as it is not working.

My task this week will be to design a backup plan or move the css and images.

UPDATE: I have a backup plan now - which is nice. Amazon is also back up after 7 hours of downtime so I have turned off the backup service. One positive thing is that I now have a backup plan that can be turned in within minutes.
