"Site is currently unicorning."

I hope the unicorn does not become the new fail whale.


Us too.

edit: I should expand by saying that we've been working ridiculously hard to update and knock out bugs in our infrastructure to prevent more outages.


I like their style:

"As of February 10, 2010 @ 04:24PM PST

"Battle station fully operational"


Well considering that the guys behind Github are Spock fans (I only assume this because of http://www.logicalawesome.com) it is perfectly reasonable. :)


Funny, I assumed it was a Death Star reference.


Some of us like Star Wars, others prefer Star Trek. All of us support injecting a little humor into our sites, though :)


That's logical.

BTW GitHub destroys the universe. Thank you for everything you do!


A quick look at the effectiveness of the status page, and what can be improved: http://www.transparentuptime.com/2010/02/github-system-statu...


+1 for this status site existing and being awesome. -1 for github being down so often. There are multiple websites such as aremysitesdown, do any of them provide similar status pages to interested parties?
