Maybe that's what happened to Amazon yesterday.

Could not open more than one tab per window, and sometimes not even that. I guess I'll look at it today.

Was that very early morning CST on the 7th?

I had no cable internet at all for about an hour around then.

That's when I was in extreme pain to the point I couldn't sleep, and not having anything to watch with no desire to start working on a project at around 1AM while in such pain was ungood.


ETA: Nah... Just read it. My thing was something different. No thunderstorms or anything, but always strange when the internet goes down for a while. They never tell you why.

It was actually so early monday morning that I figured maybe they were forcing some system maintenance which required the system to be offline for a while. It probably wasn't actually an hour but just felt that way.

Give me liberty or just come shoot me in my house. I'm so over this ridiculous reality.
