any idea how long it's been playing up at all?

Yes. It's been down for several hours. Nothing on the Twitter stream - but their ISP seems ok. It looks like a hardware failure

Offline on the ping.

thanks you, just tried rezzing a kiosk first I realised. Will check back on it, that's a tad annoying

my kiosk just connected.... maybe we're getting somewhere

It's back, thank heavens
