Gmail Trouble. Workaround & “What does Gmail’s ’502 Server Error’ page mean”?
Have you seen the Gmail “502 Server Error” page? Today, at around 4:20PM EST, I saw it for the first time and it basically means the server is overloaded – check back later. Are you having trouble accessing email. Gmail is well aware of it, as you can see from the latest blog post on the problem. This is a first for me but I’m sure its not the only time its ever happened to Gmail. After 15 minutes of checking, I began to wonder if in the future I should use less email fwd accounts and more hosted accounts, given I’m at Gmails mercy. Good news is I’m having success using www.google.com/ig as a workaround. Looking forward to service being restored...
New Indie Artists Plan for Live show CD reporting to Soundscan
Quick update on IndieHitMaker.com. We launched a brand new “Pay Per Report” pricing plan for independent touring artists that allows them to sign up for Venue Sales Reporting (live show CD Sales reporting) to Soundscan for only $33 a year and $5 per report. Its great for artist with only a few shows lined up each month but they want to ensure they are reporting their sales. Of course, for busier artists, we still have the monthly and annual plans (greatest overall savings). Check it out here: http://ping.fm/2jybv
Sync’ing Google Calendar directly to Windows Mobile direct to ‘
My wife and I use Google Calendar to stay on top of our personal and business appointments/tasks, etc. b/c it integrates well with G-mail and Google Docs and it allows us to share multiple calendars (we share three – one for PolyPlat Records/State of Man, one for her and one for me). She recently got a Samsung Blackjack II to replace her old AT&T phone, so I hit the internet to find a way to sync her Windows Mobile calendar to Google without using Outlook on her PC. Here are the options I’ve found (feel free to send your updates and I’ll add to the list): OggSync http://oggsync.com/ () GooSync http://www.goosync.com () GMobileSync http://rareedge.com/gmobilesync/...
