Flickr-less
I’m not a happy bunny…
I’ve been flickr-less for almost a week now. There’s some strange routing afoot at yahoo.
A quick traceroute throws up some problems somewhere in yahoo’s routing.

The strangest thing about this is I think I’m about the only one affected. I can access flickr fine from other machines, just not from my broadband connection.
My ISP have a had a look and checked out their border routing but to no avail. I’ve also sent a mail directly to flickr in the hope they can sort something out. At this moment I’m still waiting for a detailed response. So far all i’ve had is
