But how would that...?!?

[alicebentley]

First thing this morning (as I sweep through my regular check of email, LJ and FaceBook, someone on FB mentions that the Girl Genius website is down. I check, and yep, sure is. I call someone who can do something about it.

Then I figured I would remind the FaceBook peeps about the LiveJournal mirror, only to find that the Girl Genius page doesn't load. (That link I listed just now? Wasn't working when I posted this.)

But I don't understand how *this* page, the page I'm reading and using to post, can work just fine and yet the GG page doesn't. Even the art that the LiveJournal page links to is on a different host than the main page, and even if it wasn't why would that affect the LJ page itself loading?

A Mystery.

LJ uses a bunch of different servers, and not all journals are on the same server. There seem to be a few problems in Teh Intarwebz today, and it's likely that the GG page isn't on the same server as your personal page. (I've been able to get into LJ intermittently all morning, and have had it go down between my f-list and a journal entry I wanted to reply on....)

LJ was under a DDOS attack. Again. Hm, the status page (http://status.livejournal.com/) still thinks so.

I also just discovered this morning Down Right Now (http://downrightnow.com/) which tracks LJ, and other places.
