A couple of days ago, you may have noticed, I sent two emails at exactly the same time.<\/p>\n
It was one of those face-slapping moments that you get with technology!<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s what happened\u2026<\/p>\n
I needed to move my mailing software to a new server, because you rock, I\u2019m having to send more emails out, which means I needed a bigger machine to do it.<\/p>\n
No problem.<\/p>\n
My hosting company did the move, and all went well.<\/p>\n
At the same time there was an update for the mailing software, which I installed to make it look much more pretty.<\/p>\n
The sun was shining brightly in my world, until\u2026 I realised that we hadn\u2019t put the SSL certificate onto the new server.<\/p>\n
Doh!<\/p>\n
No problem, installing an SSL certificate is easy and my hosting company did it within the hour.<\/p>\n
Which is when things started to break.<\/p>\n
There was an issue with the certificate installation. That got fixed, but I still couldn\u2019t log into the software, because there was a bug in the new update.<\/p>\n
Aaaaggghhhh!<\/p>\n
And then, I found a loophole\u2026 I could still log in if I used Safari as my browser.<\/p>\n
Awesome \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
By then I\u2019d missed sending you an email, so I re-scheduled everything, but half-way through scheduling my loophole broke, and I couldn\u2019t see what I was doing again.<\/p>\n
Back to the aaaaggghhh!<\/p>\n
Which is when two emails got sent at exactly the same time.<\/p>\n
So I\u2019m sorry that I hit you up twice in the same second.<\/p>\n
But on the flip-side\u2026 both of those emails were kinda cool \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Anyhoo, everything\u2019s now been fixed, the mailing software is back up and running, and the sunshine has come back to my world.<\/p>\n
