What did you do during the Great Cloudfare Outage?

[MyThreeWords]

I learnt what the hell Cloudfare was.

I also made a chia seed and almond flour omelette.

I am dependent on things working this evening (see above...job interview). It seems Zoom is being affected, so I just emailed the job to say if I'm not there it's because of Zoom not me!

Impressively techie of you, to know that Amazon is Cloudfare immune!

(Thoughts and prayers re the glace cherries -- although in my view they are the devil's spawn) .

Played offline solitaire on my phone while on the bus.
Followed a cat around the market place going "psspsspss".

As far as I know Teams hasn't been affected.

I've been in the pub with a friend since 12 having a lovely lunch so it's all passed me by!

It wasn’t, was fine.

Took my slightly wonky fringe back to the hairdresser who cut it this morning and asked her to correct it, which she did and it now looks beautiful.

i probably wouldn't have bothered if I could have got on with what I was meant to be doing online, so the whole thing has kind of done me a favour!

Caught up with the series i’m watching on Netflix and looked at bags on the Next website (which didn’t seem to be affected) x

Title please!

Is this why I couldn’t buy a heated gillet on Amazon ?

Got heaps of work done. I even cooked myself lunch and learned all about resiliconing my shower recess.

It would be a bit forward of me to suggest to the interview panel that they use Teams. I am sure they will suggest an alternative platform if they think they need to.

Sort of wondering whether you might be the person whose job it is to crank the lever that keeps Cloudfare turning over, and that if you hadn't gone all analogue in the pub with beer and books we wouldn't be in this sorry mess.

Edit: Ok so I've just realised that it is Cloudflare not Cloudfare which might have given away a stupendous tech ignorance that was otherwise well hidden

I don't know what you mean, but when a PP said their Zoom didn't work, I looked it up and it has been reported that it was affected.

Any IT department worth their salt (i.e. very few) will have dashboards that monitor routes to various providers and should have been alerted as soon as pings started failing.

I had lunch and watched some YouTube.

It was "The Expanse" series. Scifi, so spaceships and aliens and things, but properly grounded and with really good characters (both things that sci-fi often lacks). First book is Leviathan Wakes, if that's your kind of thing.

Haha, not that analogue, it's been about a decade since I read a book made out of paper rather than wires and electrical impulses.

The beer is still real and tangible though.

Thanks! I’m so nosy about what people are reading.

That's men for you

Watched Netflix without scrolling at the same time. Felt weird.

You made a what?

Zoom may well have been affected, I don’t use it. A PP had said about Teams not being down, I was confirming it wasn’t.

I know, it is a bit weird. It's a habit that began with my low-carbing days and I have tweaked the recipe so many times that it is a bit of a Frankenstein affair.

I was wondering what that was all about!
I ended up reading the Daily Fail and purchasing two pair of Skechers!

I thought it was a solar flare which would give us more daylight.
