    People use Internet Explorer instead of Firefox so anything is possible

    No confirmed reports yet, but the site is down and eye witnesses report seeing smoke and hearing a loud explosion on twitter.

    Doesn't load all the graphics sometimes, could be the slow connection or the fact that my pc is falling apart and randomly shuts itself down

    I don't email a lot anyway so I use a combination of hotmail and DCU mail.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Have you tried turning your router on and off?

    That wouldn't help with the phone though...

    Maybe there really is a problem and our accounts are on different servers?
