Just when you thought it was safe to give out a GrandCentral phone number.

So it looks like I may have jumped the gun on the switch to GrandCentral. Since we just moved, I figured it was the perfect opportunity to give out the new GrandCentral number without having to irritate people with YET ANOTHER phone number change. Well, it looks like I jumped the gun.

I wanted to write a quick note to all the GC users and apologize for the service interruption this morning. We had a power issue at our current colo facility and it knocked us off line for a few hours. Unfortunately I've been up in the mountains with the family this weekend and had no cell/internet coverage so couldn't respond earlier. I did want to let you know that we were able to restore the service by noon today and are working extremely diligently to make sure this won't occur in the future. We'll do a better job keeping you informed in the future, not only about service related issues but also about upcoming features, soliciting your feedback, and generally making sure that you, the GC user, is well informed as to what's going on with the service. Thanks for your patience with us and we'll continue to work to make the service better by the day. - Craig Walker

Someone please explain to me how GrandCentral / Google let this happen? Aren't these idiots colocated with Google at this point!??! Evidently not. Given that we've heard squat out of GC since the acquisition, me wonders if Google is having second thoughts. Hmmmmmm.....
