Looks like a HARD outage in the area or something. The only major router in the country that is down is in Fairbanks, AK, but I've never tracerouted my path to the gc.com servers, so I don't know if the data passes through there or what. The more research I do, it looks as though there is a major disruption going on all over the internet. My guess is a new worm, but I could be wrong. I can't even get ping returns from the primary nameservers that gc.com uses. Overall response to my 'net experience' is slower than crap. Going back to the worm concept, it IS July 1st, which could be a trigger for it, or it could be related to the anticipated handover of Iraq (which occurred early, maybe too soon to send out a patch to the infected machines). To some these might be conspiracy theory moments, but payload triggers for past worms have been major events. It's almost as if the DNS records related to gc.com have been somehow poisoned, as it doesn't even resolve to an IP address anymore. Meh. I'll let that go for now. Oddly enough, a block of 25 IP addresses isn't even responding to my network scan, the same range that gc.com has several IP addresses for various servers. My guess is a router is sitting in a closet somewhere in the groundspeak offices smoking, waiting for the gurus to open the office for the day and inhale the stench of burnt electronics.
