GMail Down

GMail Down
In the latest in my ongoing series of Major websites experiencing outages, GMail has been down for at least the last hour. Google's Mail service is excellent and over all I've always been pleased with it.

Facebook - whoops there goes another major site!

Another major website comes crashing down!

Two weeks ago I posted about Amazon.com being down for hours, tonight, another major website has gone down without warning, and has a very ugly error message, just like Amazon did.

Amazon Still down, money down too

I previously reported that Amazon.com was down with a non-descriptive error message.

Archive Tweaks

Ok, now that I'm using the application/xhtml+xml mime type instead of text/html, using a real browser shows you where you have improperly formatted W3C incompliant code on your pages. So I've gone through each and every blog entry and fixed the errors in my old badly formatted xhtml. I've also (while I was editing them) gone through the trouble of unlocking all the entries that had locked themselves in the transition from MT to BLOG:CMS.

Server woes

Well I previously posted today a number of things that were wrong with the week, now I've got some more. It turns out the hosting provider, fastservers.net, that hosts the server I'm sharing with some other companies, is nearly doubling their prices effective next month. So now we've got to get a new server set up somewhere else, transfer all the files, and then close down the old one because otherwise we are going to have downtime.
