Outage

For the past half day, I haven't been able to get through to www.littlegolem.net, from the Great Lakes (Hi, Duke!) region of North America.

I experienced a similar outage from various North America locations. A quick look at recently completed games suggests that the only games completed during that period were due to time-outs, so my guess is that the LG server was running the entire time, but that it was unreachable from everywhere for a half day.

It happens when the server in Richard's kitchen must be temporarily relocated ;-)

Hopefully this time everybody's vacation days aren't filled up again; it delays the start of championships and monthly cup second rounds...

you can always check http://www.downornot.com if it is just you or everybody.

Hi Bernhard, nice service.

Does someone know how

www.downornot.com

is checking?

Ingo.

They explain it somewhere. If I remember correctly, they have access to many servers all over the world and connect via those servers randomly.

There's a link labelled "How do we know?" below the result. For example:

LITTLEGOLEM.NET IS UP!
