LiveJournal down

[julesjones]

LiveJournal was partially down over the weekend thanks to that DDoS attack against the social networking sites that's been going on for the last few days. Apparently if you weren't one of the people in the fallout zone you may not have noticed anything at all, but for those of us who were, the emergency backup status page's bland reassurance that it was just occasional timeouts was more than a little irritating. livejournal.com has been completely unreachable from my IP address from sometime on Friday until this morning. They did eventually update the status page to reflect reality late on Saturday afternoon. :-/

I'm not even going to try to catch up with my flist, as I am still unpacking books. Another five boxes to go...

That's a little surprising, as I'd have guessed that our IP addresses wouldn't be all that different, yet I only found LJ inaccessible for a while on Friday evening, with no problems since then. Anyway, I'm glad that you're back.
