I caught a rare basecamp error this morning:

Basecamp is an awesome multi-user, online project management system from 37 Signals.

Github uses a nifty YouTube embed when their site goes down.

“We’re down for maintenance. We’ll be back shortly (until then, enjoy this GitHub-approved video).”

Thanks to David Steinberger over at ComiXology for the snap.

Sorry, we can’t display this page right now. (Not that our homepage isn’t important to our userbase or anything…)

I’ve seen this error several times before, but actually got a screengrab this time.  Thanks for keeping it around, LinkedIn.

Good ‘ole Zagat seems to be a popular place to visit the classy, Windows-based IIS error screen: “The page cannot be found”  Personally, I enjoy this screen because it often indicates that the server has crashed and not that you’ve actually hit a bad link (404).

Continuing my series of “site down” screenshots, I grabbed this one a few moments ago when attempting to grab QuickPwn for Mac. Love the graphic of “Mount Sharemore!”
