For those who are tired of not knowing when the Keenspace servers are up or down, the folks at Belfry Comics have created a special “Keenspace Uptime Tracker” that actually pings the Keenspace servers to see how fast the response is, or to note if there’s any response at all.

The tracker seems to report every 15 minutes, so the info is always very current and very reliable.
