Murknet is down

[annathepiper]

Our connection seems to be dead in the water, folks, and doubtless this is weather-related. So if you're trying to get to any of the usual resources on the Murknet, it's probably not going to happen this morning. More details as I get it, and meanwhile, if you need to get in touch with me, I'll be on IM or you can wing me an email to my gmail address.

ETA 9:30am: And we're back! Yay!

Huh. Burninghand is up, but I can't get to half of the internet. I wonder if there's some fucked up IINet router or something.

[annathepiper]

Yeah, my money's on exactly that. We had outbound traffic just fine from home--I was able to check my Friends list before I set out for work. But apparently I'm not getting in.

We lost outbound at about... 7.52AM. I could get pings across to the card on the far end of the DSL, but nothing after that. So it's something on the nwlink/iinet side, but I don't know what and couldn't phone them before I had to bolt for school.

[annathepiper]

Ah okay! Want me to call 'em, or shall we just assume that the weather ate something and give them time to deal?

I suspect it's not a local problem with Infinity, but something out in the big wide internet. Local and regional-based (West Coast) sites seem to be having better luck.

Examples of sites I've tried that are available include iinet.com (Infinity), seattletimes.com, thestranger.com, Daily Kos, and of course LiveJournal. Microsoft's main site is up, but their OWA site is down.

Other sites are pretty hit and miss.

Infinity's site lists no problems, so I suspect it's not just one of their routers. Any non-Infinity customers having this problem, I wonder?

[annathepiper]

Well, whatever it was, it seemed to just shake loose. We're back. :)

IINet has this message from their site: http://www.iinet.com/bulletins/outage_detail.php?id=1663

Melt, damn you!

I COMMAND IT!

Re: ARGH

[annathepiper]

It'll probably all melt just in time for the snow tonight.

AND we have a Seahawks game tonight, I just remembered. Wow, this commute is going to be BRIMMING with suck.

I went outside, got underneath the laurel on the right side of the picture, and poked it with a broom.

I ended up with about five pounds of snow on my head.

Re: ARGH

[annathepiper]

Yowza! We're getting close to that around our hill as of tonight, now. We just had a neighbor come to our door (up our evil steps, I might add) to ask us anxiously if we had a snow shovel. We had to tell him no.

P left Redmond at 6pm. He's still not home.

COLD...MOIST...AND UNSTABLE

Hey, look, they're describing me!

Re: ARGH

I was merely cold and unstable until I went outside in an attempt to knock the frickin' snow off my laurels. Now I'm also MOIST. ARGH
