Perils of the Digital Lifestyle: Google Calendar Goes Down

All morning, Google Calendar has looked different than it usually does.

No Google Calendar

I believe I have some appointments today, but I don’t know when they are or who they are with.

Sometimes, even mighty Google is no match for that free calendar, complete with recipes, sitting on my fridge at home.

Unfortunately, it’s at home. Not that it really matters, since it doesn’t have any of my appointments on it. They’re all sitting somewhere behind that 404 page.

    For a web usability behemoth, Google has a pretty crappy HTTP 404 error page.

    A List Apart has a sensible set of recommendations for a more usable, more helpful 404 page:

    Yeah…actually, the issue was not with Google Calendar at all – it was some weird issue with Firefox. So the 404 page must be a standard Firefox page. Not sure what happened, I cleared my cache and restarted Firefox and now all is good.

    So this was my own foolish mistake. Whoops!
