Google Blogger Glitches, Posts Vanish

Google runs a lot of the electronically stored data for people these days. Beyond file storage in the new Google Docs, users get their email, schedules, to-do lists, and a wide field of other information from Google’s servers. It’s a little surprising, then, that Google has had so many major issues – not, perhaps, in the sense of scale, but certainly in severity. The most recent “case in point” example of this is the Blogger glitch that occurred on Wednesday May 11th and saw resolution on May 13th.

Blogger’s Tech Lead, Eddie Kessler, explained what happened. “During scheduled maintenance work Wednesday night, we experienced some data corruption that impacted Blogger’s behavior.” More specifically, “bloggers and readers may have experienced a variety of anomalies” from May 11th through 13th. Those “anomalies” came in a number of forms, with a few of the common experiences for bloggers and readers including: being redirected to the wrong blog, having issues logging in, having posts vanish, having comments disappear, and not being able to access Blogger at all. Additionally, for nearly a full day Blogger users were unable to make new posts.

The Blogger tech team managed to restore the ability to create new posts, but they did so through restoring the May 11th version of all blogs, thus eliminating any new posts, comments, layout changes, etc., made on the 12th or 13th. Blogger then proceeded to restore the additions made by users on the 12th and 13th, a process which was concluded on the evening of the 13th.

Surprisingly enough, vanishing information that is slowly but surely restored is a near hallmark for Google services. Similar issues occurred with Google Calendar and Gmail earlier in 2011.

It always amuses me when bloggers pontificate, when their credentials extend to writing alone. When will you learn from your betters?

Marlee Matlin Lists Pasadena Home to Help Pay IRS Debt | Bedford NY Homes

Actress Marlee Matlin’s home is not on the water. Nor is it on a sprawling several-acre estate. For an award-winning actress it’s remarkably normal and for sale for under a million.

Matlin recently confirmed in People Magazine that she owes the IRS $50,000 in back taxes.

To help pay off her debt, the Oscar winner has put her suburban home on the Pasadena real estate market for $899,000. According to property records, she and her Los Angeles police officer husband purchased the home in 1999 for $437,000. Current median Pasadena home values are $506,100.

Best known for her feature film debut and Academy Award winning role in “Children of a Lesser God,” Matlin is currently competing on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, which airs on Sunday nights. Although she often finds herself in the spotlight as a well-known advocate for the hearing-impaired, she said that she, like many Americans, have not been immune to the economy’s downfall. She stated in People:

“I’m paying it back. I’m not shying away from it and I’m certainly not ashamed of it. It doesn’t mean I’m a bad person. It’s reality. It’s the reality that a lot of people in America are facing.”

And despite her Hollywood status, Matlin emphasized that the debt was not accrued through a lavish lifestyle: “Living modestly in a suburban neighborhood while trying to support four children through private school is not extravagant or living large,” she explained.

Matlin’s home in Los Angeles is a cute English-style house in a “great neighborhood.” The home has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, just enough for her husband and four children. Constructed in 1937, the house retains much of its charm with original hardwood floors and beautiful cabinetry. Outside, the hedged and private backyard has a small lawn, swing set and covered patio with built-in barbecue — perfect for the kids and family.

The listing is held by Tamara Fredrickson of Sotheby’s International Realty.
