I got through to the search engines just now, but I also have had various
weird connection problems over the last day or so. At one point, for about
an hour last night, I would click on a link but nothing would happen. No
sign from the browser that there was anything happening. Ran a couple of
Pings and Traceroutes, but couldn't pinpoint anything. Weird. We thought it
was because we'd hurt our browser trying out new technologies. (We're
talking TrueDoc hexburned fonts combined with Cascading Style Sheets --
really fun, and really cutting edge! Doing a whole site in Minion and
Myriad MM.)
