My server in Dallas went down about 2330 CST last night and
didn't get back up until around 1230 CST today. Traffic
forced it down again for a few hours this afternoon but it's
back up again and holding. Even my cable modem at home went
nuts. Something was attacking it's IP. The router/firewall
at home stopped anything from getting in, but the sheer
volume of traffic has created havoc.

The new terrorism has arrived...
