qwerty69··on OVH Incident in Strasbourg
It started with all our SBG servers going down simultaneously. Approximately 1h later all our RBX servers went down as well including the OVH status page and all other OVH web applications. Either their SBG and RBX data centers are somehow connected or those are indeed two independent incidents.

Very nice library. It would be nice to add the ability to generate random values based on a distribution, e.g. the values are random but correspond to a normal distribution with a given mean and standard deviation. This would be very useful for testing statistical libraries and applications.

Google Now will remind you when to leave in order to arrive to an appointment on time (as long as you are using Google Calendar) taking into account the local traffic situation. This one helped me already a few times not to miss a meeting.

qwerty69··on Impressionist: A visual tool to create Impress.js presentations
A few improvement suggestions: Using Chrome the entries of the File Menu are not readable The Bold and Italic buttons should change their state if the selected text is bold or italic It would be nice if the size of a text field can be changed by resizing the box
