My, My, It Seems My Gmail Has Died? (Update)

September 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment

While working on my laptop about 15 minutes ago, I decided to check my Gmail account and a hit song by Don McLean came to mind.  Read the parody lyrics below and see if you can figure out which song they match:

Google Server DeadMy, my, it-seems-my Gmail has died?

I was working on my laptop when their server denied.

Checking my e-mail, away time did slide.   I’m singin’, “This’ll be the day Gmail died.”

It all started at a few minutes before 3 p.m. Central and, despite the Google message (below) that appeared on my e-mail page before everything went to the “Server Error” page, all of my connections to other web sites are working fine.

Google Message 9-1-09

Which Don McLean song came to mind?  “American Pie.”

Editor’s Note: As of this posting, my Gmail has been inaccessible for 25 minutes.  Aaarrgh!!

Editor’s Note #2: To reach me during this outage, use Twitter:  @BloggingMachine.

Editor’s Note #3: After 1 hour and 21 minutes of downtime, Gmail is back up.

    Obama needed the bandwidth and e-mail traffic of anyone who is not a Obama cult member to send out ObamaCare mail.

    If you are not in jail by tomorrow morning, your account will be restored.
