You know what Robert? This might sound ridiculous but I think the techcrunch post about this was designed to punish you. - Mark

"No suitable nodes are available to serve your request." -- some irony there -- good thing twitter isn't hosted at Rackspace? - Brian Sullivan

love the link to your page that I cannot see becasue of Rackspace problems :-) Priceless :-) - Rasmus Lauridsen

Not liking this. Right when I'm in the middle of a freaking upgrade too. - Andru Edwards

Link works fine here - @LarsenTweet

RackSpace link works fine here to (UK) - Jim Connolly

All sites work fine here (UK) - Mark

I got the following: No suitable nodes are available to serve your request. - Rasmus Lauridsen

It's a routing issue mostly affecting the United States (from what I've been able to tell). - Michael Owens

This is purely meant to punish Robert: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009... - Mark

Link worked fine for me. East Coast - Jimminy, CoG of FF

Yes its his employer telling him to get the F back in here :-P - Rasmus Lauridsen

I blame Scoble. (Is that still a meme?) - Tony Ruscoe from fftogo

Scoble picked the wrong week to stop Twittering! - Patrick Breitenbach

From CNET: Updates: Whatever has affected the Rackspace DFW facility has also hit its phone lines, a spokesperson tells us - Mark

I was wondering why I have all of these emails accumulating in my Outbox. For the record, USUALLY Rackspace is awesome for hosting. We use Rackspace Cloud for http://modea.com/ Rackspace (just Rackspace) for hosting client sites, and Rackspace Email for MS Exchange. All fab MOST of the time. - David Catalano

Robert: Techcrunch is killing you guys! - Jim Connolly

"No suitable nodes are available to serve your request." – Slovakia - Tibor Holoda

The TechCrunch post was designed to punish Robert for daring to go against Mike. And to humiliate his company which "never goes down". - Mark

Maybe its a CDN problem since its only some of us that get it... I'm in Denmark using opendns.com. That mix sometimes kills stuff for me.... - Rasmus Lauridsen

Yeah, as much as I want to take off from the Real Time web something drags me back in. Looks like it's a power outage. It's 104 degrees in Texas right now. I've seen reports that when our power switched back from generator to regular power something didn't work right. There's a team figuring it all out now and we'll have a report soon. First priority is getting customers back up and running, though. - Robert Scoble

Well, the good thing is that Michelle Malkin's site is down *grin* - Rene, Pro Button Pusher

Oh, and Arrington and I had a nice talk this morning. I don't see this as an attack on me. Our servers are down and our customers are in pain. - Robert Scoble

Rackspace: All power is restored to the DFW data center - all devices affected are starting to come on-line. Details to follow - @LarsenTweet

Rackspace: Phone support is not down at Rackspace. Heavy call volume, but no issues with those systems. - @LarsenTweet

Rackapps Twitter account is here: http://twitter.com/rackapps -- they are giving other details on the mail customers who are affected. - Robert Scoble

I've been following them on FriendFeed - thanks Robert. - Jesse Stay

Looks like our SocialToo outage was just coincidence then. I thought it was our fault, which it probably was. :-) A reboot fixed the issue for me. Gotta figure out what happened to the database though. - Jesse Stay

Either that or Chris Brogan's recent blog post killed it. :-) - Jesse Stay

WOOT! Email is back up and running on Rackspace! - David Catalano

Strange that this happens today when Rackspace had a planned maintenance window for today to replace some USP batteries - Jon Dillon

Just caught off my Webware tweets - Melanie Reed

I hope Robert has something deliciously inspiring to say after the very minor downtime. - Mark

This does perhaps illustrate Google's reason for building their own servers and network gear, each with its own battery backup: great big UPSs tend to be single points of failure for a large portion of a datacenter. - DGentry
