Update: The attack is over. E-mail is working now.

If you've tried to e-mail me the past few days you would notice that it's bouncing. My mail server has been under a DDOS attack since last week. At one point it was receiving about 4 million bogus connections per hour. Fun stuff. Luckily my host is very cool and has been helping out with things.

The question though is why me? There are some thoughts that it's a deliberate attack, or it could be that I was randomly selected. Not sure. Anyway it will soon be a week.

While I wonder how much e-mail I have missed, most of the people I deal with on a daily basis know how to reach me, i.e. jrhallett@mac.com or jrhallett@gmail.com.
