    Server Down Resolved

    We experienced a catastrophic issue with the datacenter where our server is located and our service was down for almost 3 days before we could get back online. During this outage, we believe any new users or installs might have been shown 404 or 503 errors or if someone tried to Register the Todo and Journaling Chrome plugin (via the plugin options page). Well, it was bad enough and we did not have an ETA from the provider until things were back UP and running today.

    Fortunately, we are back and kicking, and hopefully will not face such a long downtime yet again. Networks and Servers are quite complex things especially the cloud and hosting environments, and expensive too. While out plugin remains free for everyone to use, we are unable to provide fault-free and hitless redundancy at that cost, i.e. $0 to all of our users. And, if you could do us a quick favor and help spread word about our plugin to your friends via email or social profiles? (You can find the link at the end)

    Hopefully, we keep growing and be able to support and sustain our tiny operation and find ways to add to our development budget. If you like our work, plugin or have ideas, we would love to hear!

    Keep safe & keep rocking!

    We always use Todo-lists to Enumerate, Remember and Complete several tasks, that we have at our hand, in the limited time available to us. The time available to any of us is the same 24 hours per day, as a natural equalizer for all, no matter our financial status OR social standing. Now, how do we treat all those hours and days is what adds up over time and we get successful or we get consumed basis of how we partition and categorize tasks to fully-utilize our time.

    It is simple but crucial to not just list the tasks, but assign and categorize tasks into different buckets, like Official, Personal, Family etc. Done another way, it is important to think of tasks in each of these buckets categorically in order to find a balance among various facets of life. Ignore or concentrate heavily on any one and the others tend to slip away so much so that there can be ulterior consequences.

    Our Todo browser plugin makes sure you do not get so narrowly focused that it starts to affect other parts of your life. At a single glance you can see which categories need some work to be completed, and also the categories that require you to put in some tasks to make it alive.
