Yeah...Berkeley is one of the domains being blocked because of the DDoS on LJ. Thus, I can only get through via sandwich.net, and reading LJ on lynx is *painful*. Thusly, I'm going to be not reading LJ until Berkeley's access to LJ is restored.

Fucking script kiddies.

Stanford's also blocked, so i'm getting to LJ through work. Whee.

(i prefer to blame badly run windows machines than script kiddies)

I'll grant you that too, but the badly run windows boxes wouldn't matter so much if there wasn't lowlifes wandering around exploiting them. That we know such lowlifes exist is a point against the badly run windows boxes, though.

I've still got to be angry at any miscreant who will take out a site or service because they're upset about something or they think it's 'cool' to take out things, though.

(and I see that ocf.berkeley.edu is seeing LJ. Looks like that's because it's on a different range of IPs than most of the rest of berkeley.edu (including most of the OCF's main servers), but that's okay, it's still on campus net, thus I can run Mozilla over X.).
