Derailed by a dynamic ftp syn attack

No I have not got a frigging clue what that means either. And if anyone geekish enough to know wants to let me know please do not bother. But that is what derailed all blogs hosted on the same platform as mine – millions of them. Misery shared is not misery eased. As with all IT weirdoes our hosts put up a statement which merely annoyed me more.

The administrators have confirmed that the shared hosting platform is currently under a dynamic ftp syn flood attack. To protect customer data and other Daily services the shared hosting platform has been temporally deactivated.

I do not know or care what a dynamic ftp wotsit is. All I want to know is when I can go live again. Which of course they won’t tell me as they do not know either. And so I will just write copy and wait and at some stage you will see a whole day’s efforts pour out in a post constipation rush. I do hate the internet sometimes.

But we are back now…watch the copy flow.
