Here I am in Jefferson County, Missouri with my aircard, and unable to post to Classical Values because HostMatters and all the blogs associated with it are down.
It's frustrating after a 900 mile drive to be unable to post.
What makes this tricky is that I'm using a new device (this Sierra aircard) and I'm not yet sure of myself with it, so I really can't tell whether the blog is down or the card isn't working. Fortunately, I found confirmation at the InstaPundit backup site. Glenn's seeing a hidden opportunity:
Whoever's launching these attacks is doing a lot for my reading. I nearly finished the Harry Turtledove book during the last attack, and I'm starting a new book tonight.
I can't say it's doing much for my reading, as I've been driving so long I'm still seeing moving roads when I close my eyes.
But I'm glad I started the Classicalbackup thingie -- even if no one sees it! (I don't feel totally thwarted.)
To sleep now -- again -- and then back to the road! It's 3:00 a.m. and I just thought I'd check in.
Thanks for coming in spite of the repeated DDOS attacks. Someone out there in this mean, mean, world doesn't like the blogosphere.
These DDOS attacks can of course be launched against any ISP, and I think Hosting Matters is behaving very conscientiously. They're a wonderful outfit, I'm proud to have my blog hosted with them, and I hope they catch whoever's doing this. (Last time there was a big DDOS, it turned out to be coming from an al Qaida front group....)

I finally finished that book on "post-modernism", and that book on Romanticism, too. I also read "The Illustrated Fountainhead". The artist, Frank Godwin, captured the essence of the characters very well.
