It seems like every time I'm trying to get some information, or trying to get something accomplished online, some little obstacle pops up to thwart my plans.
Tonight, I'm doing some christmas shopping, and trying to generate some ideas for gifts at the same time. Most of the web sites I regularly access are down though. I can't get to google, Ebay, MSN, any of the major sites that are on the net. I guess a central computer system on the net is down, or there's a major attack going on.
I'm of course not excluding the option that something has gone wrong at cox cable with a router or some funny business, but I'm able to view smaller pages like this one. So, I think it's a major hosting provider that's getting slammed, or having some trouble.
I'm at the mercy of the computer gods.
--Update--
No more than 30 seconds after finishing this post, I tried to search google. Completely oblivious to what my fingers just finished typing, my eyes saw the google search form at the top right of my browser, and immediately jumped into habit mode. I didn't even have time to post the thing. It reminds me of flipping all the light switches when the power goes out... argh.
