HN down? (news.ycombinator.com)

yeah i saw it :-( and i cried

yesterday around 9:30EST and this morning.

Can someone post some info as of what have caused it..

Yeah for about 5-10 minutes. It happened a couple of weeks ago too I believe and it lasted for hours. I thought it may have been a problem on my end because other sites (not all) weren't working either, and I don't think I even saw anyone mentioning it here. Is HN hosted on Amazon?

If it was down, how did ya post? And how would we see your post?
