Reminder Update: The 1 year anniversary flood celebration party is tonight (Thursday, June 19, 2014 at 6pm)! The event is sold out, but we just released some additional tickets so get yours while they last! Thanks for your support!

UPDATE: Golden Inn was featured in yesterday’s Calgary Sun’s magazine pull-out.

My family has owned the Golden Inn Restaurant in Chinatown since 1977. We were one of many local businesses severely impacted by the catastrophic flood that hit Calgary in June 2013. There was a lot of blood, sweat and tears to bring the restaurant back to life again.  So in turn, we are celebrating the 1 year anniversary of Calgary’s flood recovery efforts on Thursday, June 19, 2014 with an evening of food, drinks, music and more.  We hope that you can come join us for this joyous event.  Everyone is welcome and I would love to meet my readers as I’ve received countless support over the difficult time.

Blog News: Website Downtime Update

Website Downtime Update

My web host HostGator.com experienced major networking outages for about 12 hours yesterday (Wednesday, April 16, 2014) and caused all of their 9 million hosted websites to go down. Here’s more details about the issue if you’re interested.

This issue caused all of my blogs/websites to go offline. I pretty much spent the entire day clicking the refresh button every couple minutes hoping my websites would be back online. It was very disappointing, but it looks like HostGator has finally fixed the issue 🙂

During the afternoon of April 16, 2014, the data center in Provo, Utah experienced a networking issue in some server clusters that affected some VPS, Dedicated and Shared server customers of Hostgator, Justhost, Hostmonster, and Bluehost. The outage began at approximately 11:00 AM PST and wasn’t yet resolved at 10:49 PM PST, affecting not only dedicated servers but also email delivery.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and continued support.

Raymond Lau
