GoogleBot "General HTTP error"

According to Google Webmaster Tools, GoogleBot had a problem crawling my blog on September 6th. It's described as a "General HTTP error", no HTTP error code, and the URLs are removed from the Google index, which is the most annoying obviously.

I sure my blog was online this day, so, I googled a little, and it looks like I'm not alone in this case, same problem here and here, also starting on September 6th.

Posting this note will ping the Google API, lets see if it helps GoogleBog to find its way to my blog again :-)

Update-17-09: It looks like Google is working on the problem.
Update-25-09: Still not fixed for me.
Update-15-10: Finally fixed, my Google traffic is slowly getting back.

Still using Vienna

7777 news to read in my aggregator, I said to myself, if you blog that you really have nothing else to blog, ... and that's true :-)

I should clean my feed list or spend more time reading them, but yes, I'm still using Vienna, (since this note). Not much activity on this open source project these days, is it dead ? Should I switch to something else ?
