Bills & Other Legislative Acts / Re: Bear and the other Downtown LA dogs need your Help!!
« on: July 21, 2006, 10:27:55 am »
Hello everyone.. this does stink and as Jaime said, everyone blames someone else. The downtownla blog comment section actually states the policy used to lock it down and it has long been expired. This is really plain idiocy and illegal.

Hey guys, just saw this post in my rss feed and thought I would help you out. First, my appologies for my own activity levels... it's been a long couple of months and the crunch never seems to end. However, we are starting to see some light and this weekend should be the end of our migration to So Cal xhopefullyx. Anyway, just a heads up all logos etc on the site are free to use. If you need more originals i.e. vector formats etc, let us know and we'll provide. Again, my appologies, and for Jaime and Bear too.

General Board for Big Dogs with Big Paws / Need Everyone's Help for New Toy Line
« on: May 03, 2006, 05:48:54 am »
I’ve got an exciting poll for everyone. The company I work for, Jakks Pacific, Inc., has just wrapped up a deal with Snoop Doggy Dog, the very stylish, very eccentric, (very a lot of things,) singer/rapper and even actor as Huggy Bear in Starsky and Hutch. We are developing an entire line of dog products geared for large breed dogs – leashes, collars, stuffies and clothing; all of which will have Snoop’s unique flare.
Now for the poll: we are going to have Snoop record little sayings – clever, cute, and funny little tidbits that will play back from internal chips inside some of our toys. Much like a squeaker toy, the sound byte will play upon similar pressing/shaking.
So, what would you like Snoop Dogg to say? This is a chance to shape how these toys will progress and Snoop’s voiceovers! (And of course what your pal has to listen to You won’t have long to wait either, the line will start rolling out on shelves everywhere later this year!
More details: The clips need to be short and sweet, appropriate for dog toys, and many.

« on: April 18, 2006, 01:30:29 am »
Jaime and I had never really planned on needing help running this site, and it's tough to ask, but here we are crossing the threshold between time spent paying for server, support and bandwidth costs and time just creating, coding and designing. As you'll read in the details, Jaime and I have supported the costs largely because of our love of this community and our family of big dogs, but also because we want to contribute to the lives of other gentle giants. Please see the below link for more details.

If you can help, and it can be any amount really, it will be graciously appreciated.

Emergency Power Maintenance
UPDATE
We are still performing emergency power issues within certain areas of our data center in Dallas, TX (CDC-01). Certain servers in a few phases might be affected during this maintenance window.
We apologize for this inconvenience and rest assured we are working non stop to fix this issue.
Additionally, our diesel generators are powering all areas that can be powered during this maintenance. Per our licensed master electricians on staff, because the power feeds into CDC-01 are "3 phase" and only one "leg" of the 3-phase power is affected we cannot power those areas with generators or a power overload could occur and blow main fuses within the facility.
We are aware of all downed servers and have teams working to restore access and power if your server is affected. There is
***NO NEED TO CALL INTO TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR OPEN UP A TROUBLE TICKET***
Our monitoring systems print out lists of downed servers every 30 seconds for us. Rest assured we are here working hard for you and your needs.
Best regards,

We appologize for the server outage, it really should not have been down for so long. We went down last night and had to call support; as it happened, our unix technician was technically inept and had to wait until this morning. Grr...

Collars, crates, & other cool things / Re: BPO Store Where did it go???
« on: February 28, 2006, 03:36:30 pm »
I can answer that! The Tee Shirts have just been printed and are going to be picked up this afternoon. So your orders will be shipped this evening or tomorrow! In terms of the store, that is now being revamped with some much needed improvements. We learned alot with our version 1 store but were ultimately unpleased with the performance and it's ability to keep us in strong communication with the customer. So, we're rebuilding it and it should be up soon!
