San Mateo County's emergency notification service.
It appears we have a notification system that can't recoverfrom an input error, and we have no support contract.Excerpt from the staff report regarding the event on Sat., April 7-- a Redwood City fire wafted fumes over the northern part of Palo Alto:At approximately 1:45 p.m., Technical Services staff recorded the Shelter in Place message and launched the Teleminder system. The initial instruction was to conduct a citywide notification, an incorrect action taken by a staff member, which resulted in an attempt to send the message to the entire City (132,000 phone numbers). This action immediately caused the system to lock-up. Numerous attempts, supported by Information Technology and Office of Emergency Services (OES) staff, proved futile.The Teleminder system has no vendor support, as the product was sold by the vendor to an outside company. Several attempts to reboot the software were unsuccessful, as well as efforts to reduce the size of the notification area. At approximately 4:00 p.m. the Technical Services Coordinator informed the Police and Fire Chiefs that the Teleminder system was not working and that it did not appear that any warning information concerning the fire could be sent out to residents via this system.

A great tasting at 750ml, the highlight being the enoteca system which uses argon gas to preserve wines, and dispenses 1 oz pours, deducting it from a smart card. As a wineblogger, I received $20 gratis to try it out, and enjoyed a Ponzi Pinot willamette valley, german blaufraumilch, and Lang & Reed napa cab franc, along with tasty appetizers.
Had a good chat with Brian, who explained that he wanted to get interesting wines out in the enoteca so folks could try stuff they hadn't. He's a 20 year veteran of wine retailing in SF.
I was suprised at the resonability of the pricing. $35 for archipel (which goes for $37 at costco), $11 paringa shriaz, j lohr valdiguie, all good deals for yummy wines. And lots of rose by the bottle, although i left before he opened one up for the reception.
On leaving, the owner of San Sakana cellars handed me a bottle of 2005 Viognier broken leg vineyard anderson valley, and asked me to review it. I'll do so, and soon! ;)
