Not sure I caught the start of this one, been mostly working on some local projects. I noticed earlier (midnight?) that some USA-hosted blogs were slow or not loading at all. It’s 1:30am now. Have a look at these pings:<\/p>\n

See the huge variation in ping times? And that level of packet dropping means the BBC and slashdot pages don’t load at all or take a very long time (minutes). I’m not sure what this is – maybe TM try to sneak some maintenance work in late at night when they think nobody is working! I can’t be bothered to phone this one in tonight, we’ll see if it’s still this bad in the morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
