I JUST got a text message from the White House |
|
President Obama will deliver an Oval office address this evening at 8PM marking the end of our combat mission in Iraq. watch live on TV or online at wh.gov/live.
sender 62262 9:50PM
Perfect, almost two hours late, like everything else he's done for us.

2. So you need a text msg to know what's happening? |
|
I don't even know what a text msg is-on your phone? Maybe they had a lot of people to send them to? :shrug:

4. Texts are blasted, I've received them during the campaign |
|
simultaneous to millions of phones at once.
Two hours late is inexcusable.

13. Shh I got an explanation |
|
and this one is out of the control of the WH.
It is called a system burp... a network burp.
It happens.
Once it leaves their system, they have no control over it.
No, I am not excusing the President, or most likely the low drone that pushed SEND. But this is a NETWORK burp... and it means somewhere in server land there was a problem.
Hey, at times they just go POOF! Yes, happened to me a few times with far more important emails than this one.

have you ever taken a networking class? I did for fun once. And at the time 5% of all messages got lost in server land, while another 5% were just late. It is in the protocols.
These days we have gotten a little better, but some PACKETS will still be lost, and others be late, and a few get garbled in translation.
I don't care who sends them over the network... they get lost.
And a few networks around the world are outright blocked by others.
This is not a political problem, but a network problem.

22. Of course. they are not open to your pings |

Edited on Tue Aug-31-10 09:21 PM by nadinbrzezinski
I am not shocked or surprised. The level of security in places like oh the WH, means that no, they will not be open to your pings.
Then since this is your life, you know some packets are indeed lost, or at times are simply late.
I am not talking Chinese here.
By the way to anybody else reading, this is why you ALWAYS ask for a return email if whatever you sent is critical.
Oh and by the way I am critical of them, but not for a system burp.

Maybe you should text the WH back and ask for a personal call next time.

9. The difference between candidate Obama's campaign.. |
|
And president Obama's administration is really startling..
The first was competent to a fare thee well..
The other seems to be run by the Keystone Cops.
I find it hard to believe it's all just happenstance.

I remember the campaign itself impressing the hell out of me -- it was so savvy when it came to social networking, communication and outreach.
Now, not at all.

17. I made a donation, got text messages daily until after the election |
|
sometimes 10 or more in a day from the campaign, and you KNOW it was to millions of others too, not just me.

20. I had a wonk friend who was backing Obama from the beginning, and we'd joke and argue about the |
|
candidates, and whenever he got a text from the campaign he'd make a point of mentioning it -- not that he thought the campaign really gave a shit, but just to show how well the campaign was using that type of stuff. And I totally agreed; it did impress me, and at the very basic level, it got us talking about Obama for the bajillionth time that day (we worked together). Now I see a bunch of people -- and granted, I understand it's not the same team anymore -- who act like they threw all that crap out the window the day after the election.

Re-branding and the "liberal M$M" has assured me I am a "fucking retard" amd need "drug testing".
