is it down?

General May 16th, 2008

Richard pointed out istwitterdown.com to me, and I good laugh at at a simple interface answering a simple question.

So I decided to make isthenetworkdown.cs.uiuc.edu and populate it with 8 ball answers.

Both of these were way funner than they should have been.

    I’m added extra randomness by holding Ctrl+R in IE for varying amounts of time….

    Ha! I like the Amazon links too.

    Of course, this would be more useful than clicking through links to find out if Express mail is having issues or if it is my internet connection. Or explaining to people how to find these things out…

    Ask me to show you my real tech support 8-ball next time you’re over.
