[outages] www.house.gov not reachable.

Sun Sep 28 19:00:31 EDT 2008

I'm sure its a typical enterprise/government announcement.  No prior communication to IT staff, although they will be required to troubleshoot and fix!  As now it appears "broken", although completely avoidable!

Communication and planning - its another foreign policy!

Just found out, congress released their draft rescue plan on their website.

Just wondering if the bill includes any $$$$ for load-balancers :-)
