Another confidence-builder

Computers suck. Just when information is most critical, it’s unavailable:

Service unavailable at New York state polling station database

I’m responsible enough to know already where my polling place is (unless I arrive there and it’s mysteriously closed — that remains to be seen) but is that true of everyone in the state of New York?

Does the ‘plsql’ in the URL mean they’re using Oracle?

Update: contrary to my expectations, it was up again when I checked 15 minutes later. Just bad timing maybe.

Up-update: we should all re-familiarize ourselves with the definition of confirmation bias. I never would have posted (or even noticed) if the site had worked right away. :)
