At around 1210 PST, I repeatedly got: ERROR The request could not be satisfied. CloudFront attempted to establish a connection with the origin, but either the attempt failed or the origin closed the connection. Generated by cloudfront (CloudFront) Request ID: Ka4BEecup6fDHgEWhhEQK62BNCI5laQ5X2EpfMtplG6tXeSIY5ffzg== It is now 1217 and I can connect. Was it down, or was it a local problem? ---

I posted with a link, and when I hit the link to verify it, it was down. So I guess I busted it. Sorry bout that. ---

From the ATMB mod, engineer\_comp\_geek: [QUOTE=engineer\_comp\_geek] The CloudFront error means that the problem was on the server (SDMB) side. Other than that, I don’t have any information about exactly what happened. I would assume it was some sort of temporary glitch. Maybe they had to reboot the server for some reason. - engineer\_comp\_geek, moderator [QUOTE=Bullitt] As per my thread, ([http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=811799](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=811799)), was the Dope down for about 10 minutes yesterday afternoon? Thanks. [/QUOTE] [/QUOTE] ---
