I haven't been able to get into mesenger or hotmail all day, says my ip address is invalid, as usual Microscoff thinks all is ok, says all systems are stable and running, be nice if they woke up once in a while.

On the local news last night, Microsoft reported a problem on their systems that blocked access to MSN messenger, Hotmail, and Windows Live. They did not have any explanation as to the cause of the outage. Just like the power outage in Florida.

Luckily for me, I only signon about 1 or 2 times a month.
