is flickr choking?

it took me more than 5 minutes to upload flickr photos from my mac, and I asked someone working at yahoo and say the 3 photos i uploaded are just fine. so, the upload did work, huh?

i did try to login from my browser and it failed. annoyed, i moved onto my windows with ie, then windows with firefox, linux with firefox, ...., etc.

finally, i left my last login window at the blank white page with the loading circle thing running like the squirrel in a cage and left for dinner. that was an hour ago. i can get to any other sites just fine, just like this blogger.com. i still am not loggin onto the site.

maybe i should take a nap and come back. yawn!

what's happened?
