Elevated Datastore latency, error-rates, serving errors - Google App Engine Downtime Notify | Google Groups

AppEngine is having some major issues this morning. Even the server status page seems to be broken.

I found this forum post about it from Brett Slatkin.

Google AdSense

System down message in 27 languages (including once in American English, and once in British English - in case you are confused by the spelling of "apologize", you can scroll down a page and read it 'correctly' spelled as "apologise").

FlickrBlog | FlickR is DOWN

mike — Tue, 20 Feb 2007 06:30:34 GMT

FlickR is down today. Blog claims it's back up - but it isn't. The FlickR home page says FlickR is having a "massage". Why is it that people feel that humor is a good way to deal with service outages. To me, it just makes me more angry that the people who run it find it so easy to interpret their inconveniencing me as a joke.

Google - Link to Web Home Page (non-personalized)

mike — Tue, 06 Dec 2005 21:37:34 GMT

Anyone else seeing the Google home page crap out today. I use Google's personalized home page, but I haven't been able to bring up Google for a while. I think their login-system may be down (or at least, I can't get to it). Unfortunately, I couldn't even use the non-personalized generic google home page as the main one would keep redirecting me, and the login would take forever (hang).

So, I deleted all my cookies, got onto to google.com again. Still can't log in, but I changed my home page to this one (google.com/webhp) - hopefully that will always point to the generic page, with no redirects so I can use google even when the personalization system is broken).
