Right, so there's currently a DDoS of our site specifically happening. Part of me is mildly annoyed, part of me is proud that we're worth DDoS-ing now. Since it's only slowing us down a bit and not actually shutting us down, I'm half tempted to just let them run their botnet time out. I suppose we should tweak the firewall a bit though. Sigh, I hate working on weekends.

Update: Okay, that appears to have mitigated it; the site's functional at a reasonable rate of responsiveness.

Update2: Attack's over for now. You may go about your business.

    If its not something Buzzard posted, then it was probably my comment about Hillary arming terrorists with Stinger missiles. It may have even been a friendly doing it as a joke.

    Nah, it was me challenging the IOT source claims in the popular press. All 278 Alexa users decided to sic her on Soylent.
