When it went down, I quickly realized my addiction to Twitter via irssi.

I noticed this an hour later because my monitor script was set up in the same datacenter. Lesson learned.

I have zero affiliation with the group, apart from being a casual user but http://wasitup.com/ has come in handy for me quite often. Even for free, it'll do a check 20 times an hour.

I wonder if this was related to the crappy weather in the south bay? My power was out for from 8 until 8:45ish (PST). Of course, I would hope their datacenter has a UPS and generators...

We had just launched a test server about 40 minutes ago and had been waiting for it to boot for ages when I finally thought to check the status page. Talk about bad timing.

My linode has been down for over an hour and still counting. They just went under three nines in one day...

Pingdom also has a very good free plan. It's limited to one url, but for that URL, it's just as good as their paid plans. So you get checks from a ton of DC's, and it tracks response time as well as uptime.

Glad my linode is in the New Jersey data center.
