Amazon Web Services is/was down - not sure if it has been fixed - and that took a bunch of places down.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

I assume the NYT Games outage is AWS' fault and will recover when the rest of the internet does.
(I have no inside information on the outage because, thankfully, I am not part of the team that had to wake up and go to work at midnight on a Sunday because their thing broke the entire internet. People in Books get to sleep on the weekends.)

Ah yes, my doctors are telling me that they can't prescribe controlled substances because of the AWS issue.
eta: but clearly the Wordle and other puzzle streaks are far more important!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been able to get to all my games by now, hope y'all can too. The outage does not appear to have affected my work connections so far, no idea whether/how much we might depend on AWS...From what I hear East Coast is more directly affected, so best wishes to y'all

I was able to go in and solve Wordle, but it wouldn't sync so I have to go in later and solve again. Since I know the solution I can do it in one now. I did the ones that don't have history. Waiting on the others. I think it is sporadic at this point.

Slack and Asana are still down for me. I may as well go back to bed!
(Unfortunately Zoom still seems to be working)
