Weird Gmail problems

I've been out of touch for the last couple days because Gmail decided
to go all weird on my. I kept getting a "Server Error: Sorry for the
inconvenience please try again in a few minutes" message. I assumed
(wrongly as it turns out) that there was an error with the server. A
google search and a call to a friend later I discovered that nope...
it was just me...

I guess it's still in Beta so I'll cut them some slack, but it was
quite annoying.
