Gmail outage overnight :O

Read about Gmail's outage this morning.  I'm just glad it happened when I was asleep.  What's scary is that I have a G1 phone, and if this thing went out for a whole day, that's a lot of potential employer / contract jobs I might miss (not likely, but still).

So I figured, if Gmail is offline for just 12 hours a year, that's still 99.86% (99.9% if you round up) uptime, which as a percentage seems like it's reliable, but at 12 hours, you're just praying those 12 hours are in the middle of the night when you're sleeping.  Imagine what you might have missed if those 12 hours came at an inopportune time?
