Is this thing on???

Of all the times for S3 to go out.. it had to be while I was right in the middle of coding s3sync changes.

This is, by far, the most ironic definition of "high availability" that I have ever seen.

It's a good thing for AWS that they made the S3 API so well, or else I'd totally kick this crap to the curb and go with a competitor.

the most annoying thing about s3 to me is not the occasional outage, but the fact that aws never says jack about what is going on, no warnings, no informative "we are about to use you as guinea pigs to test" posts, and very little explanation after some bad thing is corrected; further they ignore any and all questions about schedule, priorities (you just get the generic "oh yeah, we sure are considering *that*! bit) test plans, etc.
