Due to this failure, we did not have FTP access or a reliable email service to be in touch with our Beta team. Also the e-commerce was delayed accordingly - it was supposed to be fully set up by yesterday, but as you see, only 30 minutes ago we got control of our DNS. SSM2007 email has not fully propagated yet - it will take at least 12 - 24 hrs and we need it for testing the e-commerce which was delayed for Monday due to the circumstances.
Then we are blessed with holidays etc and you can imagine how much work ANYBODY will do during those days.
We estimate that the delay pushes us towards the weekend after Christmas which is not bad at all considering that we expected to gain domain control only Monday evening.
All in all, this delay is shorter than the real Shuttle although it happens for totally different (and revolting) circumstances.
R&D on the Shuttle has not stopped however, only debugging and we do not intend to launch a product we feel still needs our attention.
We, at the SSM Team hope that this event which was not under our control, will quickly become a thing of the past for all - including for us
Merry Christmas!
