Seriously Disturbed


 

Most of you know I’ve been underground in the lab up to my neck in code for the past month (literally) in hopes for an amazing launch of our new venture, the re-release of What’s Open.  Planning since February, strategic dates and delivery since March, and production since I got back from China on a custom API, crazy robust Database, slick new look, iPhone App & the hopes for launch today.  Well, thanks to a lovley screwup from Apple our whole plan got thrown out like those leftovers from thanksgiving you couldn’t stand to smell after 3 weeks of turkey.

 

The whole plan for success relied around many things, but primarily it was hitting deadlines and sticking to them.  Based on one we were guarenteed (or at least as much of that as you can assume on the web) certain press, exclusives, etc.  However our game plan was screwed when Apple pretty much lost our App submission and has failed to respond to us after every attempt to contact them imaginable.  If i wasn’t so busy trying to work damage control, I would seriously drive up to Cupertino at this point and at least yell at an overpaid secretary. May not fix anything but at least I would feel a little better.

 

I finally caught up on some sleep last night, but up untill yesterday you could count the number of hours I’d had this week on your two hands.  It was fun towards the beginning of the week, but after the awesome supprise that our plan was shot due to the early app store wed night, thats when the breakdown started.

 

I’m not looking for sympathy, I just want Apple to fix the problem.  Now with them selling out everywhere, services down, phones breaking, and still no delivery platform, it’s really getting fun.  Luckily I upgraded yesterday and avoided the mass confusion today, but it’s still annoying, and the problem hasn’t fixed itself yet.

 

Apple, if you read this, please, stop kissing babies and posting amazing articles on your website about how awesome you are and reach out to the people that are making your stock go up and keep you in business, the developers.  However from the look of it,  down 5points since this morning should tell you something.  Ouch, too soon?
