my name is mwd

Is it just me, or is orkut really flakey of late? This surprises me somewhat as google do such a good job of distributed systems, with google itself, and presumably GMail, that the amount of time orkut is unaccessible is somewhat out of character for them. I know it’s in beta, but goddamit, if you get me hooked on something like that I expect it to be up all the time :)
