Mid NYC Hack day. This is mildly inconvenient...

Rails Rumble weekend. Inconvenient for us too.

Surely this isn't a huge issue due to the decentralised nature of git? Just set up a box/VPS with SSH access and add everyone's public keys to it?

Of course, but it's still an inconvenience. No time for delays! But then again I'm sitting here commenting on HN, so I can't really talk...

Is there any way to get an SMS notification or iOS notification, when something like this happens?

I don't always check the frontpage of HN nor GitHub's status Twitter feed.

If you want there is: http://uptimerobot.com/

pagerduty http://www.pagerduty.com/

Flagged. Link to the status page please: https://status.github.com/

Right when the Echonest rep returns from an evening of sleep, those of us up all night working lose access to HIS code. Ha!

"GitHub.com is currently unavailable for emergency maintenance."

Oxymoron?

Does Github need to be the second Twitter ? ( i mean replace Ruby with Scala ).

I don't follow this too closely but a lot of the times they go down it's just to a malicious DDOS not just regular heavy traffic - would switching help?

status is here: https://status.github.com/

This is surely the end of the world.

Github Down...
