Comment We deserve an NTSB-style post-mortem (Score 1) 304

I've heard and read of enough problems with restoring complex transactional data structures that I can imagine this situation is far more complex than many believe.

What I'd love to see is a full post-mortem, a lesser version of that the NTSB does for airplane crashes.

Google's been doing some of this for their (too frequent) outages, but they've very high level -- typically something about a system reconfig overloading a router. The Cloud user base needs a far greater level of error exposure.

It took openness and in depth analysis to make air travel safe.

The Cloud won't be safe until we learn the same kind of lessons, and apply what we learn in new and improved systems.

Comment We read everything (Score 1) 489

For our younger children, we read everything. So far they haven't gotten much traffic.

We have a google apps family domain, all incoming messages are forwarded to my wife's email for review in addition to being available for IMAP.

The children don't know the google apps email password, they access their email through OS X Mail.app running on the family workstation.

All sent messages also go through the google apps gmail account, so we can log in and review all email traffic there.

As they get older we'll look at other options. Some of our children are special needs and thus vulnerable, they may have monitored email for a much longer time.
