I learnt what the hell Cloudfare was.

I also made a chia seed and almond flour omelette.

Grin 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.

Please share recipe. kbai.

Ah so it wasn’t a glitch my end then.

KnickerlessParsons · 18/11/2025 16:17

Nothing! I didn't know what to do with myself - just sat and stared at the screen, pressed reload a few times and waited for Mumsnet to come back.

ilovesooty · 18/11/2025 16:17

I went to Aqua Aerobics then I was working. Had a meeting on Zoom with no issue.

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.

Can they even use Teams if they've integrated with Zoom.

QueenClinomania · 18/11/2025 16:18

I went for a nap.

Nothungrycat · 18/11/2025 16:25

I was taking my new bike for its first proper ride. Bit of a problem with the derailleur, but otherwise brilliant. 🚲

InLoveWithAI · 18/11/2025 16:26

Mumsnet wasn't working, but chatgpt was for me. So I chatted with him, as per.

SapphireSeptember · 18/11/2025 16:26

Went on YouTube, then discovered that Holliday Grainger was in The Borgias! I've been watching clips of it on YouTube and didn't recognise her.

Had a nap.

it was good nap.

i have two rehearsals tonight one after the other so it was much needed.

Probably. I’ve used Teams, Zoom, Jitzi an probably others on an ad hoc basis.
But again, it’s not for me to make suggestions, just inform them of my position.

Played Sniper Elite 4

HelpMeGetThrough · 18/11/2025 16:05

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.

Ah sorry, I thought you were contradicting someone (not sure who!). I get it now.

HornyHornersPinger · 18/11/2025 16:46

I started to worry about my own problems instead of reading about other people's on here.

RaininSummer · 18/11/2025 16:55

I don't actually know what this thread is about? What was down?

cinquanta · 18/11/2025 16:57

I was outside in the garden all day until it got dark so it didn’t affect me at all.

Google cloudflare outage.

RaininSummer · 18/11/2025 17:05

BringBackCatsEyes · 18/11/2025 16:58

Google cloudflare outage.

Not much wiser now but thanks for trying. Does that mean that Google didn't work?

moto748e · 18/11/2025 17:08

MN, X, and many other sites were affected.

OttersMayHaveShifted · 18/11/2025 17:08

Taught my classes and used my laptop as normal!

Tryingatleast · 18/11/2025 17:10

Oh thank god, you mean this wasn’t just a me thing? Was looking at a job and couldn’t get in to apply!

PickAChew · 18/11/2025 17:11

Tried to distract DS2 from the fact that his favourite obsession site (bustimes) was down, too. It was relatively easy after the ordeal of Flickr's bad panda, the other week.

moto748e · 18/11/2025 17:08

MN, X, and many other sites were affected.

And productivity doubled ...

Isobel201 · 18/11/2025 17:13

Working mostly, didn't affect my online work programs fortunately.
