Site Downtime

Well, the site was down for most of the day today due to what I assume is a DOS attack. It’s still going on, but has slown down a bit. There are about 6000 unique hosts that are hitting the site, all requesting a certain url that doesn’t exist. Possibly this is a mass email with a link to the site? Maybe someone has control of 6000 virus laden boxes. I’m not sure. Only about 3% of all requests for that page actually have referrers.

Saw Type-O Negative in concert last night. It was a great concert, except the club it was at had a lot of audio problems and Peter was getting pissed off. But what can you expect from a 25 year old club that has no working A/C.
