Yesterday I retweeted a post by ReadWriteWeb concerning Yahoo's announcement that they are closing down GeoCities this year.

This was particularly sad news for me because GeoCities was where my first website was hosted.

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.

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.

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

Amazon.com is experiencing an outage, the most complete I've ever seen on the site.

Friday the 5th of May was a very busy day. It began by driving my girlfriend to the airport so she could go home. She had to take a very early flight in order to make it home because later flights were filling up fast. I then went from the airport directly to work where I worked a long and full day. From the office I had to drive home as quickly as possible because I had to throw my stuff into my bag to go with the family back to the airport to fly to Illinois so that we could drive up to Wisconsin on Saturday to attend my sister's wedding.
