auntbijouFor those of you who are wondering WTF is going on with LJ lately, they've apparently been hit by several huge DDOS (dedicated denial of service) attacks since last week. That's why you can't get on your page, can't log in, or everything is incredibly slow.
You can see info on it here on LJ News, and I found THIS on Netcraft. If you've tried to log in, or gotten "page not found," "guru meditation" and other such lovely messages, you might want to run an anti-viral or malware checking program on your system, as you might be one of the "zombies" used in the attack. Which sucks incredibly. Hell, just run it anyway, just because.
I hope they get this resolved soon, or at least find out why the hell whoever is doing this is... doing it.
*grumbles and goes back to looking for son's goalie gloves*
ETA: That's... Distributed Denial of Service. Thankspanthyr. Damn these brain-farts...
*head-desk*
And they just keep coming...
