O nosso tão amado github está fora do ar há algumas horas já. Após desconfiar de que o site pudesse estar fora do ar (e não era problema do meu proxy), resolvi dar uma olhada no twitter para ver se mais alguém estava chorando as mágoas por lá.


require 'twitter'
Twitter::Search.new("github").each{|t| puts "#{t.from_user}: {#{t.text}"}

E os resultados me tiraram qualquer dúvida que eu ainda pudesse ter:

———————————————————————–
juliogreff: github, agora você já pode voltar a funcionar. eu agradeço

zacharydanger: @github has been down all day. My githubris is fading. (j/k I know what the “D” in “DCVS” means)

nateabbott: It appears github is down. Tragic. I guess I’ll just go to the beach!
dougoftheabaci: Is anyone else having issue visiting the Github site?

mja: Dear internet, Stop complaining about http://github.com being down. It is D-I-S-T-R-I-B-U-T-E-D version control.

okiess: too bad that the “disaster guide” for github is also down ;) #git #github
nmeans: Having a ridiculously frustrating day between the GitHub outage and ajax-form-submission-inside-modal-box issues.

kogent: herakles outage highlights the need for distributing hosting across multiple datacenters/cloud providers #engineyard #github

cartab: Github still down :(

nikolay: GitHub is down, but thanks to Git, development does not completely stall like it would with Subversion or CVS.

notio: As I prepare to research signing up for github, the server is unavailable.

adam_elliot: Wow so Github is down, I just figured it was my internet connection…

cyberfox: It’s bad out there; network failure took out EngineYard’s W.Coast ISP, thus much of the Rails ecosystem: GitHub, Lighthouse, NewRelic, etc..

marcjeanson: proudly not effected by github being down

cwalcott: I hope that after today Github, Pivotal Tracker, Hoptoad et al will be changing hosting providers. This much downtime is unexceptable

É interessante como o Twitter se tornou uma ferramenta muito mais profunda do que parece. Coisas como esse tipo de pesquisa em tempo real se tornam muito úteis se conseguirmos explorar melhor os recursos disponíveis pela ferramenta.
