You’ll Just Have to Take My Word On It.
Today a fire hit a major datacenter in Seattle, taking money processor Authorize.Net down. This has caused many web-based financial transactions to grind to a halt, but Authorize.Net isn’t the only website that’s gone offline today.
Another popular website has fallen, Geocaching.com, a worldwide GPS-based treasure hunting game, leaving thousands of people trying to figure out just what’s going on and why it went down.
Honestly, I found all 839,756 caches today but I couldn’t log them. You’ll just have to take my word on it.
