MK Partners Archive for December, 2009

We got the below notice of an upcoming maintenance window on the NA6 server. You can tell you’re on the NA6 server after you login and look at the 3 characters in the URL prior to .salesforce.com.

At salesforce.com, customer success through system availability and reliability is our top priority. As part of our ongoing plan to deliver high availability and reliability, we are enhancing our service infrastructure on our NA6 instance.

Please be aware that salesforce.com will be performing scheduled maintenance that will extend beyond standard system maintenance windows. The current scheduled window is:

Saturday, December 19th, 2009 at 7:00pm PST to 3:30am PST

During this time, the salesforce.com NA6 service will be unavailable. Users attempting to access the service during this time will be presented with a scheduled maintenance notification page.

We appreciate your patience during this maintenance window.

Best regards,
-salesforce.com Support

David Green wrote a succinct post on what it takes to be a successful developer. I think the post is definitely worth the read even if you’re not a developer since the entire list really applies to any job not just developers.

Since it’s almost time for new year resolutions, might as well give it a read and plan on how you can improve in the upcoming year.

Salesforce is allowing customers to sign up for a preview of its new Chatter functionality. For those of you that don’t know, Chatter was announced at Dreamforce ‘09 and essentially adds facebook like feeds into salesforce.com.

You can sign up to be part of the preview here:
