| Script kiddies hit us with a DOS on port 80 around 5.50 p.m. We've been seeing the same spam posts from, I presume, owned machines, posting dipshit Viagra ads for the past couple days, with an increase in the number of probes on port 22 — which is locked, kiddies. Hosting Matters was hit a day or two ago with a DOS, so I'd say this was pretty well certainly directed at bloggers, at least of a certain stripe. We were probed around 7 a.m. this morning from a Hostway account (66.232.129.62, if anyone from Hostway is interested.) The O Club seems to have kept ticking along. Has everyone moved to ports :81 or :8080? |

| #5 People who appear to have nothing better to do than try to impose themselves on others. Sounds familiar. Not very nice, not very smart and certainly not worthy. They're assholes. Let's kill em. |

| #3 It looks like they're still banging at the gates. I'll restart the firewall again before I hit the bunk, but I imagine it'll overload again in another few hours. I apologize in advance for the outage while I'm noddy-bye. |

| #2 The main site opened up nicely for me the first try just now, if that helps. I'll mail off something scrounged from my egg money tomorrow, to buy you some more coffee, and a single rose for darling Mrs. Fred. Boy, won't your various script kiddies be sorry when the CIA come knocking at their doors, some quiet night! |
