One of the many times twitter has barfed on me.

I received an email from Velocity rewards notifying me of a free upgrade to Gold membership. It was quickly followed up by another email containing the following.



Was it a human data input error or programming error?

Just wanted to find out the status of my Snow Leopard order. Nice fonts though.

Just wanted to read the story about Nokia's new netbook.

Suddenly I have no followers on twitter. I wonder what the probability of all my followers stopping in the last hour is?



Also I am only following about 16 people at the moment, but you'll notice about 36 following icons. This is the third time in the last three days that twitter has magically added about 20 followers, which I have deleted again and again. Is this a feature?

GMail disappeared a few minutes ago, still down.

EDIT: Back up again within 10 minutes.

Trying to view the story Israel is committing a holocaust in Gaza: Norman Finkelstein via Google News.

Wanted to check my current ADSL data usage via the ISP.

The AirPort Express arrived the day after ordering it though. :-)

Both personal and work GMail is down.

Optus mobile users were not happy here in Brisbane when they couldn't use their phones yesterday due to a software issue. Story coverage here and here.

Tried to access my class timetable from the my.UQ website.

I have decided to collect software errors I encounter. Not to necessarily point the finger at specific sites/companies, but to record the evidence I observe about how poor mainstream software development is in general.

This error occurred when I was attempting to view the mobile phones on a specific plan on 3 Shop Direct.
