anonymuse on Amazon DNS error

AWS Status shows Cloudfront DNS issues, which is reflected in our page's assets not loading. Kinda makes me wish we were using something like https://github.com/etsy/cdncontrol/ but that's a fight for another day!

Anecdotally, our site is now loading quickly for me: http://canary.is/.

However, digging the Cloudfront name servers times out intermittently:

  $ dig +short @ns-666.awsdns-19.net cloudfront.net
  ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
