Really?

The message I saw said that the websites were going down for about two
hours starting at:

date -d '2009-12-11 02:00:00 UTC'

By my reckoning, that was about 44 hours, 48 minutes ago... so it
should be long done by now.

The original message on this topic was posted at "11 December 2009
22:08 UTC+1" - so unless Simon waited 17 hours before posting, I'd
still agree with you that this probably isn't the cause of his
particular problem.
