I think it's just you.  Up for me and IRC has been rather busy 
with notifications of commits and pull request comments.

Works For Me (TM) - haven't had problems with GitHub at all today.

Also, this is useful for cases like this one:

The auto tester is also a pretty good canary for github's availability.  I 
can tell through it when github is suffering before github's status pages 
have been updated a lot of the time.

Works for me. Are you behind a firewall?

English is useful because it is a mess. Since English is a mess, it maps
well onto the problem space, which is also a mess, which we call
reality. Similarly, Perl was designed to be a mess, though in the
nicests of all possible ways. -- Larry Wall

My router has one built-in, but I haven't blocked any sites with it, 
certainly not github. Haven't even changed any settings on it lately.

Although I'd have no idea what kind of crazy fucking shit my ISP might be 
pulling (Timer Warner - yea, they're not exactly known for basic 
competence.)

The HTTP request goes out to them and then...the connection just sits there 
indefinitely...doing...nothing. Nothing gets sent back, the connection 
doesn't close.

Everything else seems to work fine...Jusus christ...those stupid goddamn 
motherfuckers turned they're goddam "send him *our* page for every unmatched 
DNS request" bullshit back on, after I've already shut the fucking thing off 
twice in the last few years. Why won't these shitwads just fucking die 
already. Adelphia's leadership gets hauled off to jail, ok, fine, but then 
these Time Warner fuckwads are allowed to live and participate in society. 
Fuck, if I had my way anyone with an IQ below 100 would be 
institutionalized, and all middle and upper managers would be shot in the 
balls, then in the face.

In any case it woudn't surprise me if this asinine bullshit is somehow 
what's causing the problem. Fuck Time Warner, and I hope all their kids get 
hepatitis and die.

And, nope, that still doesn't solve it, although I wouldn't doubt that Time 
Warner fucked it up some other way.

It might be a stale DNS entry perhaps? Try the IP address directly:

	207.97.227.239



 The HTTP request goes out to them and then...the connection just sits

 connection doesn't close.


Maybe github.com got blacklisted for basic competence? :-P

Ah the infamous DNS ad pages. Are you sure you aren't accidentally
blocking github.com by blocking those pages? :-) I used to be
overzealous in blocking IPs... used to have entire /8 blocks in my
iptables drop list, collateral damage be damned. Until one day I put one
too many /8 entries in there and things started breaking horribly. :-P

(note the http vs https below)

This: http://207.97.227.239
Works, but just redirects me to http://help.github.com

And this: https://207.97.227.239
Does not work.

Interestingly, this: https://help.github.com/
Just simply fails to connect. Which is NOT the same problem I've been (and 
still am) getting with https://github.com  which is: It connects and the 
request is sent, but then nothing gets sent back and the connection stays 
open indefinitely. And yea, tried on multiple browsers, and with JS on (not 
that JS would matter if there's no http responce).

Yesterday, I checked status.github.com (which worked) and didn't see any 
reports, so I did what it said an emailed their support. Still waiting for a 
responce.

I think GitHub just hates me. I've always been having (other) problems with 
github, so I'm pretty vocal about github sucking and bitbucket being better 
(though still not ideal). Maybe GitHub's just retaliating ;)

Heh :)  (Very, very, very, very, very BASIC competence, IMO)

I'm not actually blocking them on my end, I'm just using my ISP's opt-out 
(*NOTHING* should EVER be "opt-out", only "opt-in". "Opt-out" is nothing 
more than rationalization for acting grossly unethical. "Out-outs" should 
involve a manditory jail sentence (in a "federal rape-me-in-the-ass 
prison"). And of course, making such things "no choice" instead of "opt-in" 
should involve a larger sentence. And I geniunely mean that.).

Hah! So it probably *is* Time Warner screwing it up:

From: Tekkub (GitHub Staff)
Subject: Can't get HTTP response, no notice on status.github.com

Do you have Time Warner cable by chance? We've had a number of reports from 
users unable to connect from their network. When we have more details from 
them we'll post them to https://status.github.com/
