I use the ajax loader for a number of things, search, feeds,
prototype, jquery and maps. All of the sudden my site. www.triphopping.com,
stopped working throwing "Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an Object> has
no method 'load'" when hitting this line:

google.load("prototype", "1");

and this breaks the rest of the site. I was doing a fair amount of
geocoding repeatedly while testing a feature, and that's the only
reason I think I may have hit some limit. My site still works from my
phone and anything else outside of this IP address.

The strangest thing of all, www.google.com is failing to load now too.
My only guess is that they too are using their own APIs, from which I
my IP may be temporarily banned, for what I'm guessing will be 24
hours.

This is across chrome, firefox and IE. Any thoughts on this, could my
geocoding really have caused this (maybe upwards of 10,000 in the past
24 hours), and could this really be affecting my access to google.com?

The limit for geocoding via the Maps API's geocoding functionality is
15,000 requests per 24-hour period. This is a true rate limit, meaning
that they will only let you submit more than 1 geocode request per ~6
seconds for a very short time. There is always a chance that Google
has interpreted your large volume of requests as a DOS attack and
banned your IP accordingly. If this is the case, you'll probably have
to talk with someone at Google to see about having the ban removed. In
the past, though, every time I've seen the geocode rate limit
surpassed, the geocoder was the only thing that returned an error. All
other Google services continued to respond as normal. What do you see
when you request the jsapi loader on its own? I.e., visit this link
with Firefox and see what you get:

http://www.google.com/jsapi

http://www.google.com/jsapi also fails to load. However, gmail,
groups, docs and others still work. Do you know the best method of
contacting the appropriate person at Google?

Nope, just a chrome "oops this appears to be broken" page, it doesn't
load. calendar.google.com also is broke, and google reader at least
starts to load, but then breaks.

I reset my router and everything is back to good again. So I'm glad to
know it wasn't google blocking my IP, and I feel like I should have
tried resetting the router hours ago, but I'm still left confused as
to why the router was even the problem and decided to start blocking
google... oh well, good times are rolling again.
