failing like never before

Gmail Down Time Again…

So Gmail is down again and has been for at least thiry minutes, attempts to access the webpage results in a 502 error. I disallowed IMAP and POP forwarding on my account so I have no way of knowing if IMAP and POP are still accessible, but I am inclined to assume that they're not. Gmail outages while rare, are not unheard of, and I have always ridden out the down times without too much complaining. But Google's mail software is now officially out of beta, and it is not acceptable for a production-ready product to be having these kinds of outages. I may just have to create a 42gems.com e-mail and use that instead of my gmail account as my primary e-mail address.
