I'm wondering how the red and green indicators look to someone who is color blind. Yes, the page looks nice, but I think Apple's status page is better simply because the indicator icons are (I'm assuming) better for people with color blindness.<p>Anyone who's color blind want to weigh in?<p><a href="http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/" rel="nofollow">http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/</a>
This is actually good PR for 37signals. We already knew that all apps go down from time to time. What we now know is that (a) 37signals has a great status page, (b) they are transparent about their uptime, and (c) that uptime is in the 99.98–98.99% range.
Looks like a load balancer issue: <a href="http://status.37signals.com/status/campfire/2013/4/17" rel="nofollow">http://status.37signals.com/status/campfire/2013/4/17</a>
I posted this code from here on Basecamp: <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6529728/html5-doctype-putting-ie9-into-quirks-mode" rel="nofollow">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6529728/html5-doctype-put...</a><p>Answer number one. It came in with the html with the stackoverflow profile pictures and all. I was like crap so I switched to non html formatting. I probably clicked a few times, it kept loading and loading. Basecamp went down right when that happened.<p>Could have been the problem...<p>It looks like it actually posts to basecamp servers to do the reformat. Why can't they just do this in javascript?<p>I am using Basecamp Classic with Firefox.
