The storms in the US and a technical 'leap second' fucked up large parts of the net over the weekend.

One of the primary reasons we have the net is that it was meant to be a 'nuclear' proof way of keeping communications open.

The 'cloud' doesn't look that great either....
I was just thinking about 'The Cloud' - Its pretty much what the net was aiming for 20+ years ago.

And it seems it does not work....
