Hooboy-- the Internet is Jumpin' Today

Instapundit seems down, and I'm having getting through to a Slate article I want to link.

Mu.Nu seems to be okay, though. I was hoping for huge traffic on this Blog Christmas, but maybe huge traffic would just shut the whole server down.

Anybody else having this problem, or is it just a problem with my local routers (whatever they are)?

Update: Okay, now the amateur leftist webzine Slate is pretty much down.

Instapundit, Powerline, LGF-- so many of the heavy hitters are out of the game right now.

Excellent.

With the first round of exit polls everything started going in the tank. Command Post, NRO (just ads though), Instapundit etc. The talking heads on TV must have mentioned blogs or something...

You seem to be carrying it today Ace! :) I can't seem to get thru to my other regular stops...you're it dude! You've got me freakin' out about VA thought...I thought I was gonna be solidly in the Red Zone! :( News from my local vote drop-off site...Reston, VA (Burb of DC): Relatively tame here...the Reps and Dems appeared to be on their best behavior. Had to wait in line for about an hour and a half. I knew that most from my area were going to be Kerry supporters (based upon tax contributions looked up on the net for my zip code) but I decided to wear my Bush/Cheney shirt just the same. Nobody spit on me...and some even made polite conversation! I literally was the only person there (that I saw) with Bush/Cheney paraphenalia...saw a bunch of Kerry/Edwards buttons.

Ace--

Blogger is sluggish. Fine for posting, but you have to hit refresh a lot on the pages.

Of course, I got a nice link from Jonah Goldberg in the Corner, so I'm also dealing with an avalanche today.

Just keep at it. Like a Viking.

Cheers,
Dave

They all use the same server is what I think. I noticed this too.

Posted by: Rusty Shackleford on November 2, 2004 02:52 PM

I seem to be down, or really hit or miss. That's a first since I moved to Hosting Matters.

Posted by: Nathan on November 2, 2004 02:52 PM

You, and Roger Simon, and Hugh Hewitt are the only blogs I can get onto. So blog furiously. I'm trying to work, and it's not going too well.

Posted by: Dianna on November 2, 2004 02:54 PM

BTW...that no-name post above is moi. Sorry...got ahead of myself.

Posted by: Jo Baker on November 2, 2004 02:54 PM

Can't get into blogspot.

Jay Cost is up, which is the key place for non-stomach-churning news/analysis.

I've got a downstream trace-break once I hit Alter.Net's OC12. My wife says she loaded instapundit @ home just fine, and my RSS feed on MyYahoo is updating...but I can't get to any hostingmatters site from the office. Including command-post.org. ARGH!

Ace, keep us in the loop! You and other MuNuians are our only hope!

Posted by: cadrys on November 2, 2004 03:04 PM

Can't even get to Hostingmatters.com. Think the lefty's are attacking?

Posted by: TakeFive on November 2, 2004 03:05 PM

Wonder if it has to do with this sort of thing:

"PA.: ALLEGHENY COUNTY GOP HQ IN PITTSBURGH WITHOUT POWER [Chris Lilik 11/02 03:01 PM]

According to several reputable sources, the Allegheny County GOP HQ in Pittsburgh just had lost power. Because the office building at 125 Seventh Street is without power, telephones, computers, and other office machines are unusable, a huge blow to Bush supporters hoping to remain competitive tonight in this key area of the country.

While it is still not clear the cause of this electrical problem, politics could potentially be a factor.

The Democrat Headquarters across the street and other surrounding buildings are said to be with power..."

I'm wondering how the BlogAds folks are gonna feel about the most significant traffic of the year being blacked out by faulty servers...even if they have been hacked. Hosting Matters didn't see this coming?

Posted by: Joan of Argghh! on November 2, 2004 03:14 PM

The net must be slow because of all the undecided voters getting online to get info on how to pull their heads out of their asses!

Posted by: Wild Bill on November 2, 2004 04:58 PM

This is part of why I wanted to get us all onto the new server last weekend.

The other part, of course, was those goddam monkeys.

The new server seems to be just cruisin' along. Not a care in the world. :)

Posted by: Pixy Misa on November 2, 2004 05:25 PM

Remember, folks, all of MuNu is up! Go here for a complete list of MuNu blogs.

Posted by: Pixy Misa on November 2, 2004 05:26 PM

Yes, I meant to thank you and congratulate you for that.

Better a little outage on Thursday than today.
