Looks like you can use an alternate screen name to connect to IMified via GTalk/Jabber while they work through some growing pains.

IMified Down

Just as I begin to rely on it, IMified is down. It was hit-and-miss for me all weekend, and completely down today. I guess that’s why it’s called beta.

Internet Closed for Cleaning?

According to a message sent from the Department of Homeland Security dated March 29, 2006, and posted here, the Internet recently had to be closed for cleaning. According to the email,

…the internet will be shut down for cleaning for twenty-four hours from midnight on March 31 through the early hours of April 2. This cleaning is necessary to clear out the “electronic flotsam and jetsam” that has accumulated in the network.

It’s a wonder my blog is still here.

Gmail Service Outage?

Anyone else seeing this? I’ve been getting either 404 Not Found or 503 Service Unavailable errors when trying to access my Gmail account. I first noticed this about 1:50pm PDT (GMT -8), but suspect it’s been going on a bit longer. What’s up?

Funny, I was just thinking I need to switch to Gmail exclusively. Hmmm.

UPDATE: As quick as I saved this post, Gmail came back online (2:38pm PDT). It wasn’t just me, posts in the Gmail-Users Group seem to confirm the outage.
