The Pippy Store is down! :(
For those of you trying to access the store to see and purchase many of the titillating products offered by Pippin Industries, I have some bad news; Apparently the humans over at cafepress.com decided to see what happens when they "smash shiny black thing that make funny noise with big rock".
In other words, they had a "redundant system failure".
Their email to me:
Dear Shopkeeper,
Over this past weekend we experienced a redundant system failure that resulted in the corruption of a number of images, deeming many unprintable. Essentially, this means that an image server and its backup both failed, and Shopkeeper images were potentially damaged.
Unfortunately, one or more of your images are affected. We are currently working to restore images, and in the meantime you’ll notice that some of your designs show as pended* in your media basket, and are not salable within your stores or in the Marketplace.
Over the next few days we will be removing the pending* status from images as they’re fixed. Our goal is to restore as many as possible, and we anticipate knowing the full results of our work later in the week. We will send a follow-up email to report our status at that time.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
Sincerely,
CafePress
So it looks like the shop will be down for awhile. While we're waiting for those at cafepress.com to grow a brain stem than fix the problem, just relax.
In the meantime, go naked... you know I will.
