I went to asktom.oracle.com this morning and I was greeted by the ORA-01688 error. Take a look:
Coincidentally I was trying to read a thread titled: Stress test
Now, it looks like the site is back up and running.

AskTom is so valuable to many people, including myself, even a 5 minute downtime gets noticed rather quickly.
August 17th, 2005, at 10:23 am #It wasn’t down for 5 mins!! It was down for almost 5 hours. If you look at the tkyte blog, the message there was posted at 02:29:20 AM EST and it was fixed almost at 6:00 AM EST(By my estimate). Of course, even Tom needs to sleep
