The Internet is a wonderful thing. Then we all get dependent on it, for our latest email, news, IM, or coding fix - and something goes strange. Right now, Cornell University appears to be mostly disconnected. The university's main web page is up, but almost no internal pages are accessible, including the CS department page and NSDL.org.
Connectivity was lost at 2:00PM yesterday, and then restored (at least for a while) last night starting at around 9:00PM. This morning, it is off again. Makes me wonder if the CS department shouldn't have a web presence outside Cornell that we can use to get out announcements when either Cornell or CS is down.
Now I'm waiting for a call back from the Network Operations center and twiddling my thumbs at my computer.
[A quick update - it came back up, hopefully for good, by around noon. Router problems, brought on by yesterday's commodity Internet connection problems.]
