Looks like all’s back to normal, or getting there. No word yet on what broke.

Turns out there’s a simpler way.
Also works. Without any hackery.

For those who don’t know, something’s badly wrong today with okut’s DNS setup.
There’s a workaround to get in. No telling how long this will be going on.
This is from my frined Henrik:
All you have to do is edit your ‘hosts’ file. In Windows you can
find it in C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32DRIVERSETC (assuming your windows
directory is in C:WINDOWS). In some UNIX like operating systems it
resides in /etc/ but your milage will vary.It’s a plain text file, so you can edit it with Notepad, for example
Just add the following two lines to the end of the file:66.28.250.19 www.orkut.com
66.28.250.20 www.orkut.comSave, and you’re ready yo play
More on this as it plays out.
Maybe I’m just special, but I haven’t had any problems with orkut aside from the obvious interface design flaws and the way it eats up my life…
