Working just fine for me

by Robert on Apr 30, 2008 12:27 PM PDT reply actions

All we need now is a post from Jeff that says

“No, we don’t know when USSM will be back up, so please stop asking.”

USSM is down for me, as well, though it was up this morning.

I had the same problem.

I typed it into the location bar as www.ussmariner.com. Didn’t work, so I assumed I had mistyped it and went to my bookmarks. Worked fine. I went to check it later from the location bar and got an error. On a lark, I removed the ‘www’ and it loaded.

Pretty weird.

I've tried that, though (because that's usually the problem),

and I’m still getting the error. No USSM for me.

by Llewdor on Apr 30, 2008 12:31 PM PDT up reply actions

tried it a multitude of ways...

Nothing works for me. Not www.ussmariner.com, nor ussmariner.com, nor linking from google, nor linking from the LL sidebar.

No USSM working for me :(

They have a homemade server, sometimes it's wonky.

by JI on Apr 30, 2008 12:43 PM PDT reply actions

I believe their server is hosted now, after a little fundraising campaign last year.

dude, gomez already beat you to it.

I may be a little retarded, but I’m not a full-blown idiot.

Worth a shot :(

Give him credit

I BARELY beat him to it.

by Gomez on Apr 30, 2008 1:04 PM PDT up reply actions

No... you really beat me to it

I was trying to see if i could go 2 for 2 on sammy after you Rickrolled him :(

by seattlebruin on Apr 30, 2008 1:09 PM PDT up reply actions

Leave off the WWW

and it should work just fine.

by thewyrm on Apr 30, 2008 12:48 PM PDT reply actions

Nope, it's down for me too, even as ussmariner.com

Also, the alphabet and Coolio don’t mix… but then again Coolio doesn’t mix with much of anything.

by Gomez on Apr 30, 2008 12:49 PM PDT reply actions

Oh wait

It works for me here

by Gomez on Apr 30, 2008 12:50 PM PDT up reply actions

I can't believe I fell for that.

by sammy on Apr 30, 2008 12:55 PM PDT up reply actions

Me too.

Still funny though.

by Fin on Apr 30, 2008 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions

It's all in the timing

by Gomez on Apr 30, 2008 12:57 PM PDT up reply actions

Speaking of timing.

I suppose while we’re on the subject of Rick Astley.

The second one is actually Prince's "Kiss"

Sorry forgot to add that.

Shit, sorry.

...and now I'm here

by CapSea on Apr 30, 2008 1:59 PM PDT up reply actions

Seems like you're only 98% sorry for other problems besides bitches

does that mean you’re 2% sorry for girl problems? I think Jeff needs someone to talk to after that whole alternate universe Eliza Dushku fantasy

by seattlebruin on Apr 30, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions

If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son.

I got 99 problems and a bitch ain’t one.

...and now I'm here

by CapSea on Apr 30, 2008 2:19 PM PDT up reply actions

I know the line :(

Works at home, not at work

It sounds to me like a DNS error. Something change on the config side? Either way my home system gets there, but work gives me errors.

by TheEmrys on Apr 30, 2008 12:49 PM PDT reply actions

edit

It does not work with or without WWW. at work. Works with either at home. These are 5 miles apart in Colorado. Could be regional issue. Anyone that wants to post their location to see if it there are any trends?

by TheEmrys on Apr 30, 2008 12:51 PM PDT up reply actions

yeah, I'm betting it's a DNS issue,

though it seems widespread enough that something must have changed server side

That game ruled

by Graham MacAree on Apr 30, 2008 2:36 PM PDT up reply actions

It definitely freed up May 21 for me

because honestly, at this point, the only rooting interest I have in the Champions League final is for a new Russian Revolution to start that day, blow up the stadium (before the game starts), and completely disrupt the whole thing.

I suppose, push comes to shove, I’d “root” for Chelsea.

For me this is the only conceivable situation where rooting for Chelsea is possible

by Nick S on Apr 30, 2008 3:40 PM PDT up reply actions

I still can't quite get there

but on the day, if I decide to watch it, that’s probably what I’ll do. But it sucks that those are my choices. Why did Barca pick this year to fall apart?
