Spoonflower uploads aren't working, nor were re-upload replacement attempts. It's a new red file error I'm seeing. And it's just that part of file creation rather than the whole site refusing to acknowledge my existence (from the laptop).

and then I found that flickr was bad-panda-ing me when I went over to compare notes with other designers about the Spoonflower error.

clearly plurk is still operational though.

now the online reporting is that Amazon Web Services is down - which would explain it. Too many businesses have become subservient to Amazon & Google etc by relying on their widgets. The internet was meant to be decentralised to be resilient.

then AWS came back up a little while ago but Plurk was struggling instead!

I didn’t notice Plurk having problems, and strangely, I haven’t used anything that was not working (so far).
