Is the [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) site still operational? Maybe it’s just down  
right now.

The DNS server for [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) is set to [ns1.chadfowler.com](http://ns1.chadfowler.com), and that  
appears to not be pingable right now. I’m sure [rubygems.org](http://rubygems.org) is still  
there – if you know the IP address 😉

Blessings,

I think it’s all on the way back up – try again in a little while.
