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, 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.

Update, 11:36 pm PDT: Access and availability to our sites has improved. We continue to work closely with our Internet access providers and will monitor the situation through the night.

Hooray for mail!

Yesterday I got two lovely bits of mail…. a postcard from Bubbles, and two bookmarks from ilene! The postcard was a pleasant surprise… Bubs has the best handwriting… able to fit a lovely amount of content onto a mailer. The Bookmarks are even nicer than I’d hoped they would be. A monkey on one, and Newton on the other.. what more could I ask for?

ABC adds full streaming episodes of Lost ( and other shows) legally and for free! They need to do this with other shows/networks.
