FM servers are down and you think nothing worse could happen...

Owners of smart pet-feeding device Petnet were told to "feed their pets manually" after a server problem stopped the device from working. Petnet, which now says all systems are back online, had previously told customers:

"We are experiencing some difficulties with one of our third-party services. You may experience a loss of scheduled feed and failed remote feedings. Please ensure that your pets have been fed manually until we have resolved this issue."

I expect the next time FM goes belly up we'll see a tweet: "Please ensure you have pen, paper and postage stamps ready until we have resolved this issue."

Let's hope this technology gets perfected before it's let loose on our elderly, infirm, family and friends.

You will come and visit me, won't you?
