DST Issues for Yahoo! and GoDaddy
There is no official confirmation that the outages are due to the new DST dates, but both Yahoo! and GoDaddy have reported outages today.
My Yahoo! mail was down a majority of the day. I haven’t read anything where Yahoo! is admitting that it was due to DST, but I am assuming that is what has caused it.
Many of the websites which are hosted by GoDaddy have been reported to have been unreachable today. They had previously announced that they were ready for the time change, but many of their customers were questioning that. I’m sure a monetary refund is due to some of the sites that were down because of todays outages. This makes me think I made the right decision a month ago when I decided to not use GoDaddy for my hosting solution.
With these 2 major outages, this is 2 more than I remember for the whole Y2K fiasco over 7 years ago.

Godaddy went down? Isn’t that the company that has the commercials with the big breasted girl in a t-shirt?
What time did they have problems? I couldn’t get into 2 sites yesterday afternoon ( http://www.dailymotion.com and http://www.freepornvideos69.com *NSFW*).
I figured it was that damn Vista that I installed acting up again.
I get pissed when I can’t get to my porn!
It looks like their hosted sites were down because of a DOS attack and not related to DST. Coincidence?
