This is harder than it sounds. It really is.

But its not impossible.

First, come up with a story about you, that only you will know. This story should be anywhere between 4 to 30 words or so. You can make them longer or shorter, but there are risks in either direction.

Take the first letter of each word of *your* story. If you want to be advanced, you can include punctuation marks!

For example if your story is:

“Adventurous denizens crow about their success! Always and always!”

The password will be “Adcats!Aaa!”

You can vary the formula (e.g. alternating first and last letters, etc.. The key thing is to link the password to a story that only you will know.

Sorry for the glitches everyone.

We had a hardware failure on our server earlier this week. During the recovery process, we thought we successfully re-deployed our license server to the cloud, but didn’t realize that the deployment environments were not the same.

Thus we’re troubleshooting a long stream of unexpected failures after another.

Thanks for your understanding.

The diagnosis is still ongoing. Sorry for the mess.

Our first public-ready BETA trial VERSION IS READY!

The version is 0.3.2, and you can access them HERE

So, it’d be unrealistic for me to think the Ysobel.AI release would happen last week as planned.

As soon as I returned home, I realized that a file server developed faults in two out of eight disks.. Thank God for zfs/raid-03

I then ordered a bunch of disks to replace. They’ll arrive soon. In the mean time, I am operating without file system backup at my main dev site.

Sigh. When it rains … it pours stink bombs all over.

It is a monumental task, bringing a (small, fledgling) company up from scratch. Everything is against you.

Your partners abandon you. One or two may even pretend to be your friend only to turn out to be a psychotic maniac!

The only thing you can do in this case, is to take a deep breath (check!), go exercise (ditto!), take care of sundry chores!*, you know, the usual SSS (Don’t make me spell it out! Read some books!) and then once refreshed, tackle the issues, one by one

Thanks for reading!

*1. In some parts of the USA, “watching grass grow” is a legitimate spectator sport! You have no idea! It’s not uncommon for grass (and weeds!) to shoot up an inch or more almost overnight!
