to check:

    http://sqa.ring.nlnog.net/
    (an attempt at outage correlation based on NLNOG RING data)

    https://puck.nether.net/pipermail/outages/
    (people (self-)reporting outages)

    http://isitdownorjust.me/
    http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/
    (self-test websites from various vantage points)
