I wasn't a fan if CC at first but it's turned into an incredibly good deal for me at $30 per month. A little downtime from time to time can't be avoided. People just love to complain.
- kibibu 12y agoI'm sure your words are comforting to those graphic designers who missed print deadlines due to this outage.
- l0stb0y 12y agoQuite frankly, if a persons workflow doesn't include a potential for downtime then they only have themselves to blame. This whole 'down to the wire' and 'stop the press' mentality is a combination of drama-grade fallacy and unprofessional project management skills.
- aeberbach 12y agoThis hand-wave over designer's inability to build enough slack to deal with Adobe's failure into every project is a combination of unsubtle trolling and egregious sociopathy.
- l0stb0y 12y agoIt's called 'planning for the unexpected' and encompasses a wide range of scenarios, only one of which can be blamed on Adobe.
- ScottWhigham 12y agoWell, to play devil's advocate, 'planning for the unexpected' should also cover 'a client calls at the last minute with a rush job', shouldn't it? In that case, how is an Adobe outage the consultant's fault?
- Pacabel 12y agoYes, a professional should be prepared for unexpected customer requests with tight deadlines. And the response to such a request is to just get the work done. That, of course, involves being prepared for any service outages that might interfere with such work.
- testrun 12y agoHow many times did Adobe failed? Total minutes outage per month would be nice to know.
- kibibu 12y agoHow many times did they have work-stopping outages before CC?
- smtddr 12y ago>>A little downtime from time to time can't be avoided. People just love to complain. If you feel this way then image-editing isn't your core task in your job. Imagine if the github.com maintainers had your attitude. "Meh, some downtime here 'n there. Whuchagonnado?" A github outage for _OVER 24 HOURS_ would freakin' wreck me and my coworkers. The image-editing department for a high-fashion magazine in New York or Paris with those already near-impossible deadlines losing 24hrs is going to make some execs somewhere very angry.
- voltagex_ 12y agoNo one other than Adobe can provide a Creative Cloud that you can type cc add remote creativebucket.org and keep working. You can, however, type git add remote bitbucket and should be working to several remotes.
- l0stb0y 12y agoAnd yet another fashion magazine expert. So many! I'd like to point out that your image is solely based on low-grade chick-flicks.
- sureshv 12y agoI would think git's distributed nature would make this a lesser issue. You would just have to set up another remote target and push/pull from that (say on AWS or some other provider).
- e12e 12y agoSure. But not having access to the tickets database might cripple a team pretty badly. One reason I'm still toying with the idea of trying fossil[1] "for real" and/or find/make a tool that distributes issues within mercurial/git like http://www.bugseverywhere.org/ http://www.bugseverywhere.org/ Note-to-self: looks like hattawiki might be a nice companion on the path to "distributed everything": http://hatta-wiki.org/Install http://hatta-wiki.org/Install [1] https://www.fossil-scm.org/ https://www.fossil-scm.org/

- Nekorosu 12y agoI'm glad you have your toy for just 30$ per month but some people do real work with CC.
- l0stb0y 12y agoHi, thanks for your reply. I make my living with a combination of professional photography, videography, a smidgen of web design and some graphic design. So yeah, no real work there.
- dalerus 12y agoIt wasn't a little down time. Also they handled it poorly. I had four staff without access to key systems for our designs. I had to call customers and explain why deadlines were going to be missed. Made me look unprofessional, especially since there was NO announcement by Adobe. I had to search Twitter to find out what was going on.
- l0stb0y 12y agoYou don't have CS5 or 6 running on backup computers in case of CC or general internet outages? Did you explain that to your customers?
- deleted 12y ago[deleted]
- dalerus 12y agoNo because we work primary in Flash. Flash is not backwards compatible, and we have custom applications developed for flash. CC is much larger than just Photoshop. Also internet outages don't usually affect CC.
- yuhong 12y agoYea, unplugging the Internet is a known workaround in fact.
