Is this thing on?

On Monday the servers that host BeyeNETWORK were hit by a denial of service attack. It caused short term outages to our services but in the end the entire system was back at 100% in less than 90 minutes. The interesting thing for me was that I was in Dallas and the symptoms seemed worse there than my team in Boulder was experiencing. I couldn't see the site but the team could, plus my friend Stephen Pace twittered me to say he couldn't see the sites. So I had to wonder if it was down for everyone or just me?

I mentioned it to a friend at the event I was speaking at and they suggested the following site:

I guess its true the coolest things are often the simplest. I now have it bookmarked.
