Well I'm an ignoramus when it comes to you magnificently talented computer nerds (that's a warm fuzzy), but sindawe said what I was thinking regarding who might be behind nefarious activities. One of his posts seemed to have several veiled threats.
I didn't realize what an addict I am. Why are my hands shaking and I have cold sweats..

Well, at least my provider has their web site working. Voicemail message is now a recognition of the problem with a claim that a fix is in progress. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Re: THR Outage right now
I was on APS this morning at about 9: 00am and it went flat about 9:45am, PST in Portland, OR. I then tried THR and it promptly dropped off the net. In view of Oleg’s “Mad Mole” (lemur?) my first thought was a DOS attack. Both sites are still down as of now. Given the not so anonymous nature of the net, a source (s) should be indicated given time. This does give pause to think about e-terrorism, doesn’t it?

Wouldn't it be easier just to turn this place white and green, put a little flag at the top?

Hi Guys
I was griping in the other thread, but it got closed.
So here I am with the rest of you guys, holding onto the gunwales of the lifeboat as the swells wash over my head and assault my sinuses with seawater. How far are we from shore?

Hi Arf
Derek is going to find out and get to the bottom of all this, and once THR is up and running, he will share. While we wait, as there may be some folks that have not read some of TFL before, may I suggest for your viewing pleasure: Anyone wanna see pics of my Zimbabwe Buff hunt? http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...d.php?t=220362 "Metal and Wood" http://www.thefiringline.com/Misc/li..._and_Wood.html The Day I Discovered That HCI Wants Me Dead http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/...hlight=piddled Regards, Steve

THR is back up. Oleg paid the overdue electric bill.
But for how long, I dare not guess... |

No joy. No signal. I'm gonna get some sleep.

Followup
OK, here's a look at the last 48 hours worth of data. Things seem to be running smoothly now, but that's assuming it wasn't a systemic failure at the datacenter that will happen again.
Fingers still crossed, and I'm still trying to get details on the cause...

Reno, NV reporting
Can't access THR from Reno or my slave box in Carson City.
I'm guessing we're down. Waiting for more news from Derek.
