Is <http://npmjs.pulumi.com|npmjs.pulumi.com> down right now? I get this error whenever I attempt to do a `npm install` with the newer version (which was my problem):

```
npm WARN registry Using stale data from <https://npmjs.pulumi.com/> because the host is inaccessible -- are you offline?
npm WARN registry Using stale package data from <https://npmjs.pulumi.com/> due to a request error during revalidation.
npm ERR! code ETARGET
npm ERR! notarget No matching version found for @pulumi/pulumi@0.16.11
```

And just testing with ping:

```
$ ping <http://npmjs.pulumi.com|npmjs.pulumi.com>
ping: cannot resolve <http://npmjs.pulumi.com|npmjs.pulumi.com>: Unknown host
```

There should be no reason to need that any more - the packages are all on the regular public NPM

Sorry for the trouble here! Like James said, we no longer need to proxy Pulumi NPM packages. So you can just remove the reference in your `~/.npmconfig` file.

Here was the announce we made about shutting down the NPM and PyPi proxies. I thought I had contacted everybody who still were referencing them, but I obviously missed you. Sorry about that.

I experimented with Pulumi a long ways back and then got pulled off to other things, just coming back

Welcome back, we’ve added a lot of cool stuff since launch :slightly_smiling_face:

thanks, I can see that :slightly_smiling_face:
