Wouldn't it just figure that the day I add Twitter and Facebook widgets to the pages here, they get shut down by denial of service attacks? On the Twitter blog, the co-founder of Twitter, Biz Stone writes, "Attacks such as this are malicious efforts orchestrated to disrupt and make unavailable services such as online banks, credit card payment gateways, and in this case, Twitter for intended customers or users."

While there is no doubt that no one wants to be the target of a DOS attack, I find it more than a little humorous that he likened the attack on Twitter to damaging attacks on banks and financial services. It's inconvenient, but I'm pretty sure we'll survive.

I'll try re-enabling the Twitter widget tomorrow.

9600 photographs and no photoshopping / post production edits. It's pretty amazing.
