So I am on my admin console (9:42am 8/22/07) from http://www.askTheAdmin.com when I see a pink bar saying:
Could not connect to Blogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail. Test connection now. I Click and Get: Contacting Blogger.com…
I tried, and I tried until I could try no more. I started pinging and open up web consoles. All the servers are up but the website returned a 502 Server Error. Goooooooogle!!! What did you do? Who flocked what up? We were supposed to be down for scheduled maintenance on 8/20 at 4pm. I saw no outage then! It might be time to grab that dedicated server… What do you guys think? Where were you when AskTheAdmin and Blogger went down?

Can’t believe this crazy outage. But it’s nice to know people can come somewhere outside of the blogger outage/domain to check up on blogger’s status.
