Those damn immigrants!

Hi Art :)! I knew it wasn't a DNS issue (... this time ;))... based upon what I'd heard. You into network stuff now? FB .... meh...

As long as PPOT is up .... so is the Internet ... for me :D

In case anyone wants more technical detail... (probably a very short list of folks)

I will say it again, I use Facebook to keep up with actual friends and relatives. I just stop following anyone posting political crap.

As a non IT pro, it is just astonishing that a company as big as Facebook can have their site go down. It did not bother me one iota that is was down.

Now when Pelican goes down, that is important!

Wait til we get a once every 500 year solar storm and lose all internet.

BTW, you sure a bunch of cranky old guys are on this forum! Also, this forum is social media.

^^^ I believe it.

^^^^That's true news right there. :)

Good. Facebook and Twitter are pretty much state run media now. They put more effort into controlling what information can be shared than their IT.
