Ryan says: This makes no sense. Even the intranet IBM internal sites are down. Yet MSN and e-mail work.
Evelyn says: yeah
Ryan says: This is very odd.
Ryan says: If I didn't know any better, I'd think somebody hacked something within IBM.
Evelyn says: It's not impossible.
Ryan says: This is rather hindering, isn't it?
Evelyn says: Yeah, I must admit that it is.
Ryan says: I'm working on the Storage article, and I'll come across a term I'm not sure of and think "I'll Google it."
Ryan says: Think again.
Evelyn says: Yeah, I'm trying to do my December distro list, but I can't get to BluePages.
Ryan says: Very unusual for the IntrAnet to be down.
Evelyn says: yeah it is
Ryan says: A bad omen it is. Time for the lamb's blood above the door.
Evelyn says: I'm sure it's the end of the world as we know it, to quote REM.
Ryan says: Isn't that kind of redundant?
Ryan says: If the world ends, in any way at all, don't you think it would be understood as the end of the world as we know it?
Evelyn says: I guess so.
Ryan says: Then again, singing "It's the end of the world as we thought it was" doesn't have the same ring to it.
Evelyn says: No, not really
Ryan says: *REM on* It's the point of demarcation for what we previously understood to be the reality of the geo-cultural norm. *REM off*
Ryan says: Boy, I'm annoying when the Internet's down.
Evelyn says: Yeah
