More Poof

It's like a chunk of the internet disappeared. I can't get to Yahoo mail, I can't get to quite a few blogs, or blogrolling, and everything else is slow.

That's odd... I just tried Yahoo mail and got there no problem. But I can't get to Jewish World Review to read my favorite columnists. ::pout::

Maybe our Yahoo mail accounts are on different servers. I can get to my My Yahoo page just fine.

But then again, I can't get to an insurance company's web page to verify eligibility on a patient... so yes, apparently a big chunk of the net is down. We are soooo spoiled....

Your blog was "not there" when I checked at lunch my time, but East Coast blogs were visible. Who knows.

(scrolls down) Now I noticed the hard drive failure.

Thomas, that was due to my hosting company losing a hard drive -- we were down all night and some of the morning. This (apparent) outage happened about 45minutes ago.

I blame Al Gore.

Maybe one of the connection points between east and west is down. Except that wouldn't explain why I can't get to the State of California website....

I cannot get any mu.nu's now. It's like the beginning of Terminator III: Rise of the Machines. :)

Maybe we all need homing pigeons for when this happens. Imagine if we lost the internet for a few weeks instead of hours?
