Site Difficulties

Apparently we are having accessibility problems. I have no idea why. If you had a problem today getting here, let me know when you had the problem and when it cleared up.

*** Update **

Apparently the problems continue.

    Between 10 and 11 am PST I couldn’t access this site. I don’t know when it cleared up but it was after 11(2 est).

    It was this morning, but it wasn’t just you. jameswolcott.com (for instance) was also inaccessable at the same time. In both cases the host names were not resolving.

    All morning, and oddly, I couldn’t get on Instapundit or your site for pretty much the exact same period. All’s well now with both, and in fact, B-J (heh heh) seems a little faster than usual.

    all morning but I also couldn’t get on Huffington’s site or even Yahoo. Missed you the most though John.

    I was having trouble getting to the site for a little while. But I think it was my wireless connection. When I plugged in a few minutes ago, things went back to normal.

    Smooth as silk. Could be because I’m using a T1 line, or it could be that somehow managed to do real work for long enough for the problem to come and go without me noticing. A priori I probably have to go with the T1 line.

    All day, until 5:30 P.M. Carpetbagger Report also had the same problems as well – long loading time leading to blank screen. But I am on AOL - Lord knows they could have problems.

    Ok, it’s my turn, but, only on this site.

    Well, the moment I start gloating the link goes kaput for awhile. Chagrined, I swear to resist gloating at least until the next opportunity arises.

    Speaking of which…

    May I suggest a thread dedicated to my scoring opening-day Steelers tickets? I’ll be so close that Roethlisberger will think I’m open.

    I was unable to connect for about the last 15 minutes.

    Just got on.

    Hosting Matters was having routing issues or something similar earlier… one of the reasons many blogs were unaccessable.

    For me: no Balloon Juice all day (Tues 8/30)
    Just cleared up (AFAICT) >10.00p ET

    Amazing: I survived!

    No problems with the regular site since my last comment, but I just noticed that I haven’t gotten anything on the RSS feed since post #5420 (“Ruthless Gangster, Definition Villain”).
