the goats that google was using to cut the lawn have eaten the power cables of the underground datacenter.. - Gianfranco Chicco

Johnny Worthington, except Google Apps mail is down too. - Tony Ruscoe

It could be worse, earlier my entire internet was down. After going around the house rebooting various networking bits, it turns out that someone (probably Thomas, who loves wires) had unplugged a switch... It's probably the same thing at Google -- someone let a 9 month old wander around the datacenter and, well... (technically, Gmail is not vulnerable to such failures since it's double-redundant, which means this is most likely a higher-level system failure) - Paul Buchheit

Also down here in Belgium - Guy Vander Heyden

We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and suggest trying again in a few minutes. If the issue persists, please visit the Gmail Help Center » Try Again Sign Out - techfugatest

What's up with Gmail suddenly becoming a sporadic fail? For so long you hardly ever heard of interruptions - now slowdowns and outright fails are starting to happen regularly. - Wayne Schulz

I'm getting error code 767, but it sounds as though other codes are flying around as well. - Paul Buchheit

Heh. They fixed the problem before they updated the Apps Status page. Now it says there's an outage when it's working again: http://www.google.com/appssta... "We're aware of a problem with Google Mail affecting a significant number of users. The affected users are unable to access Google Mail. We will provide an update by May 8, 2009 1:19:00 PM UTC+1 detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change." - Tony Ruscoe

Gmail is back! - MySoftChoice.com
