07:25 Weird. Are Google and Facebook down for anyone else? By Google, I mean ALL OF GOOGLE from homepage to Reader. #
08:16 So far, sites I can't connect to: Anything Google, anything Facebook, and Feedburner. @googlefail #
08:18 Thank you, Twitter Search--seven more people say Google is Down for them. Great. #
08:23 @G_Wake Comcast, actually, and I've already called them. The entire rest of the internet works, just not Google or Facebook (or Feedburner). #
08:27 @Umatter2Charter Several reports on Twitter of Charter subscribers having Google/Facebook outages. Can you verify? #
08:29 Searching Twitter for Google/Facebook results in 2 types: New Farsi Support and Tennessee Charter outages. Are they connected?? #
08:31 Okay, so that last note was ridiculous. #
08:32 @G_Wake The IP address works, but with no images (all served from another page). I'm thinking... DNS issues? Serious DNS issues. #
08:34 @G_Wake LOLs aplenty. #
08:36 Well, time to stop complaining about Google/Facebook outages on Charter internet in Tennessee and go grocery shopping. Maybe it'll blow over #
10:04 @Umatter2Charter Woo! Thanks so much!! #
10:04 Charter Google/Facebook issue resolved. Awesome. #
14:45 @chadlandman TIME FOR JAILBREAK #
14:47 Had a good day--did/doing some laundry, had a good lunch, got networking to work on VirtualBox and installed D&D Char Gen. Tonight: Trek TNG #
15:58 @ianwheat Toyota What? #
15:58 @patricox Ooh man I LOVE false cognates. Sweeeeeeet. I wish I could remember my favorite--right on the edge of my mind. #
16:00 @ianwheat @wilsonjohn Agreed! 140 characters means "work on your revision skills." Remember Strunk's Maxim: "Make Every Word Tell." #
17:19 @chadlandman That's the way to do it--leapfrogging generations is always joyful. #
19:55 @ianwheat The basic dispute seems to be "Are Apps the sole deciding factor?" For me, yes--so I'd never use other than my apps' host. #
19:56 @ianwheat Now... If someone could write a compatibility layer... Android is Linux, iPhone is Unix-like... #
