Got this from the host:

"Worldcom (uunet/alter.net) is currently experiencing outages in the Boston area right now. It doesn't seem to have affected connectivity in any of our Boston datacenters, however it has knocked our T1 offline."

Looks like LCA's been on and off, too; I wonder if this isn't related to that East Coast worm I recently heard about?

I kept hearing about that and have heard mad horror stories but got nuthin here on West Coast.
Allegedly it hit here but not anywhere I go.hehe!
I am the chosen one!hehe!

that's a shame because i think the west coast should be obliterated

kidding, chill

hey now no single out der west!
all coasts should be obliterated!
remember only pure evil is devoid of prejudice!
Kill em all and let me sort em out!!!!
