One of the big switches that lets Flickr talk to the outside world went on vacation without telling anyone about 30 minutes ago. The problem has been fixed and we’re wobbling our way back up, but you might still see some strange behavior for the next 10-20 minutes.
Actual photo serving wasn’t affected so any photos you were showing elsewhere (like on your blog) should have gone on happily showing up.
Hi. You've reached Nigel.in
What you have landed on, possibly inadvertently, is the website of a certain curious character a.k.a Nigel Fernandes
The aim of this page was to serve as a landing point for those of you who want to know a little more about me. The links on the right and left will take you deeper my world, or possibly on to different exciting things.
Its a big web out there and this is just one more street for you to saunter down. I hope you like it.
Close this.

Flickr down ! whoops.. damage control time.
Thursday, September 6, 2007
I was ambling around on my blogs today, posting stuff on TicklishZombies when I needed to pull the URL of an Image I had uploaded to Flickr.But .. as fate would have it, I could not access Flickr. Was it my terrible Sify internet line that was to blame ? Was it my DNS setting ? well.. uh. No. It was Flickr.
From the Flickr Blog
Well, I like the hordes of people out there, love Flickr, and this will certainly not dent that affection in any way. Must take a couple of seconds her to note that they responded to the issue with a blog post within a minutes of the failure, and the whole time, mages continued to be served up just as normal. Amazing work Flickr guys.
Update: looks like they are going to be down a little longer. But at least they started serving a message on hitting Flickr.com
