Technical difficulties

Due to someone, somewhere having technical problems, a whole bunch of blogs I read regularly are inaccessible, and have been so for a few hours. Looks like a registrar has fallen out of the DNS system somehow. I can’t see Electrolite or Making Light, or CalPundit or Unqualified Offerings. Even InstaPundit (which I don’t read, ’cause I’m sick of Glenn Reynolds’s bald-faced intellectual dishonesty, but it’s one of the biggies) is offline. As is my portfolio site, which also means that if you send email to my grumer.com address (which you probably shouldn’t be doing — I use that one for professional mail, and the grumer.org address [which is fine; it’s hosted on an entirely different ISP, and registered with a different registrar] for personal stuff) it’s not getting through. Just so ya know.

Update: Just like washing your car makes it rain, complaining on LJ about a website being down brings it back up!

Eighties Tarot

Oh, that’s nifty. Through Vincent Baker’s weblog, I found the Eighties Tarot. As Vincent points out, the neat thing here is that you can use any other quiz that gives you a tarot card as a result and look it up in the Eighties Tarot and get a pop culture figure. Fer instance, my significator is the King of Swords, which, y’know, who cares really, but how cool is it when it’s Elvis Costello!
