Time-Warner-opoly
While Gregg and I were out seeing an absolutely delightful movie -- Micmacs, by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, the director of Amelie -- Time-Warner was in massive fail mode.
As @groinksan tweeted:
Looks like a major gateway/router at Level 3 is down. Affecting Time-Warner RR and access to many major web sites.
Chase, Amazon, LAWeekly, and other sites were down as well.
My server company, Nexcess.net, which I love and highly recommend, rerouted my site so I wouldn't remain down.
But, I have to say, if I had some other choice than Time-Warner, I'd switch in a hot second.
Must go to bed. Might have to post more blog items in the morning.
P.S. About Nexcess -- they did have a rare outage the other day, probably related to storms in Michigan, but we had a hellish time with 1and1, Gregg and I, and he did a lot of research before he settled on Nexcess. They're Michigan-based, they speak English, they're very patient, and answer support tickets right away. I don't recommend books, people, or businesses lightly, and I highly recommend them.
The storms have been bad this spring, and now summer in the mid-west. During the worst of it, the thing to remember is they don't last long. In the end chances are you and everything else will be alright. Interesting, I'll have to take a look at Nexcess.

Micmacs as good as Amelie? (Answer carefully, I loved that thing. I want to think Paris is really like that.)

I can't wait for Jeunet to make another movie, but I can understand why it takes him a long time.
