The Internet is Crashing!

There seem to be a preponderance of websites crashing lately (or, at least, not reachable). One site I visit (the skepchick blog) is completely inaccessible, due to, it seems, the Asia cable outage. If anyone from an NZ site can connect to this directly, I'd be interested to know. (I can access it via other means, but not directly.)

But there are also other sites falling over. I was about to link to the latest Bad Astronomy entry about dark matter, but now that site's gone down as well. And Skepticality seems to be bouncing along with access issues too.

Has anyone still got the warantee license for the internet? I think we need to get a repair man in...
