Just when I’m thinking how smoothly Gmail has worked for me – WHAMO! – it goes down. It’s been down for a couple hours now. The sad thing is that I barely even use e-mail to talk with real people – just to get notifications of stuff. But of course today I was actually about to send off a quick e-mail to a friend. Now I must resort to picking up the tin can and hoping the thread over to their house hasn’t snapped yet…
UPDATE: Mea culpa. It appears that Gmail was not down, rather it was the victim of a proxy problem I was too lazy to check on here at work. All fixed, things appear normal now. I still need to look in on that cup and string backup plan, though…
Weird, it works for me just fine.
