If you’ve had problems reaching some of your favorite sites hosted by TypePad* and the like, it’s not just your crappy internet connection:
Since approximately 4:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Six Apart has been the victim of a sophisticated distributed denial of service attack. This has affected all of Six Apart’s sites, causing intermittent and limited availability for TypePad, LiveJournal, TypeKey, sixapart.com, movabletype.org and movabletype.com. Our network operations staff is working around the clock with our Internet access providers to resolve the issue. We appreciate your patience and support, and will provide updates as we have them.
Sigh. Among many other awesome blogs, we shall be intermittently Fugless, Byrdless, and Riehless, which sucks beyond my abilities to describe.
* Comments are off on this post, because I don’t need the internet’s most notorious Typepad cheerleader leaving a comment to try and make me feel like an asshole. I can do that by myself most days.
