BAH! BAH! I say...

*sigh*
LJ is under a DDoS attack. According to the Status page, they're 'filtering around 1/4 of the IPs on the net'. According to the page, this will only inconvenience 'some' users. But everyone I talk to is barricaded out. I got lucky; this machine, on this range of IPs, has -never- visited LJ before... so apparently it's not part of the big filter. So I'm using Lynx, and updating via an extremely ugly text only page.

As I commented to [livejournal.com profile] wibbble a bit ago, these idiots (the ones behind the DDoS attack) need to take up a NONdestructive hobby. Like self lobotomizing! Or spontaneous combustion. Harsh? Well, I think I'm being gentle. My preference would be the one-by-one removal of each finger and toe without anaesthesia, followed by burning hot pokers in the eyes.

Sorry. I just don't find this at -all- amusing.

I wonder if it's the same nutcases that have all but shut down DALnet IRC service?

I have no idea, love. I wasn't aware that DALnet was down as well. I've never been much of an IRC runner, spending my time in the MU*'s instead.
