For some reason I’m having trouble logging into the Oracle site today. This is frustrating. Luckily though Firefox gives me a hint of why there is a problem. I get a somewhat useful error message.

firefox_error

In IE though the request seems to just go forever with no error and no progress. I’d rather get an error than the illusion that something will eventually happen when it won’t.

Hopefully in the meantime Oracle can fix the login on their site so I can download Oracle XE. How does something as critical as login break on a site like Oracle.com? I thought they were supposed to be the example of high availability and reliability.
