Is linode down? (linode.com)

According to @kovaya, "linode's problems in Dallas are NETWORK not host related. Linodes are all OK, network is getting attention."

Right now, http://twitter.com/#search?q=linode seems to be the best way to get information.

My linode is unreachable and pinging my linode's IP gets 100% packet loss, so it's not just DNS or anything.

This service is handy right about now...

Seems to just be Dallas. Anyone know what data center that is and who else is there (to see how widespread it is).

It's The Planet. I have two servers there and both are up, but TP actually has 6 different datacenter networks in Dallas (last I checked, anyway), so that doesn't necessarily mean anything. But searching Twitter for @theplanet during a Planet outage usually leads to all sorts of evidence of an outage, and there's none at the moment unrelated to Linode.
Webfaction is in that datacenter and they seem unaffected.
We have nodes in all 5 Linode data centers. Currently only the Dallas node is down. We document all outages here: http://cloudharmony.com/status (click on the Linode links to view previous outages and outage documentation). Atlanta has been the most reliable data center for us (no outages in 6 months we've been up there).
Totally subjective, but with slicehost I recall that their Dallas center had problems noticeably more often.

Is there something about Dallas, for Linode or Slicehost or both?

Dallas seemed to be a problem for mosso -> Rackspace Cloud Sites, too. Just setup a linode in Dallas for a client last week, too. I hesitated to use Dallas, but I thought surely I was being irrational. It's still probably true that I was, but dang.
Looks like the Dallas datacenter is back online now.
yes. second time in 2 weeks. http://search.twitter.com/search?q=linode&result_type=re...

Sounds like the whole Dallas center is down.

Mine in Fremont CA are fine.
http://linode.typepad.com seems to be what status.linode.com resolves to.
Yup. My server in Dallas is down. However, my server is New Jersey is still up and running. Are there any other server locations down other than Dallas?
Dallas, Newark, Fremont, Atlanta, and London.

EDIT: Haha, sorry, read that wrong. I thought he was wondering if there were any server locations other than Dallas.

My London Linode doesn't seem to be down.
yup for me too.. even their status.linode.com is down :P
My ATL nodes are up and running. I don't think I've had any downtime with them at all in the last couple of years, at least not memorable ones.
As stated, NJ noc linodes seem to be up. My sites there are responding to http requests. But linode.com dashboard / admin ui is unreachable
I've got two linodes in Dallas that are down. Another server in the same datacenter (with Webfaction) is still up and running.
Our linode in Newark is fine, but all of Newark was unavailable for almost two hours a couple of weeks ago.
down since 11:12 EST (according to my wasitup.com notifications)
No problems for me with my linode in the Fremont datacenter.
Mine are up in Newark.
I'm logged in to my NJ linode right now and it seems fine.
Not working for me. I'm from Singapore.
My St. Louis linode is up and running.
There is no Linode datacenter in St. Louis (Last time I checked, at least)
haha, I forgot I switched from slicehost. My VPS _used_ to be in st.louis at slicehost but is now in Atlanta.
My linode in Dallas is still online.
It's back up.
My node is back, but linode.com still down for me.
Mine in Atlanta seems fine.
