<\/p>\nSo around 10:30 pm, I got responses from a server saying that \\”document not found\\” when searching something in the CMU website. I thought ok, the CMU google search must be down. Some idiot kid probably broke while trying to show off to his friends what he could do with the CMU server.<\/i><\/p>\n
About 30 minutes later, I tried again to search using the form in Safari. Because I want to find a screen protector for my powershot s60. It doesn\\’t work. I get the same message again about \\”Document Not Found\\”. Ok, something doesn\\’t seem right. I go to the google home page and get the following.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am shocked. I check images.google and news.google It seems as if everything is functionally normally. I im Polo and ask him what he sees. He sees the regular google page. Ok WHAT IS UP. I start thinking that someone messed with the router that I am currently leeching off of…and taht someone thought it would be funny to direct leechers to a non-google site. I spend a few minutes trying to get into the router\\’s admin page to no avail. I don\\’t know the default password to DLink\\’s router page because…guess what, I can\\’t access google (although a few minutes later, it did occur to me to use Yahoo). So I start spinning around in my chair in frustration, thinking maybe this is a sign. They want me to really study for my human factors mditerm.<\/p>\n
I start feeling yet another pang of hunger, which comes too often these days. I start thinking about whether I should eat my fifth banana that night or whether I should bake my instant cookies. Or eat cornbread.<\/p>\n
But I digress. I return to my computer and suddenly it works.<\/p>\n
But sadly to my geekiness, Google was NOT hacked<\/a>. It was just a DNS glitch as computers all over the world tried to find the site of Google. Strangely enough SoGoSearch is google.com.net? How is that possible? I don\\’t get it. But ok. It happened earlier in May, but I wasn\\’t around to witness it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So around 10:30 pm, I got responses from a server saying that \\”document not found\\” when searching something in the CMU website.
