okay, I've set up a QuickTopic for this. Remember you can subscribe for
email updates on the discussion.
One of those stories that is, by it's nature, a bit hard to get out
(especially as Metafilter is down right now too). Mr Tom Plasticbag Coates reports:
A good proportion (over half of the people I've asked) passwords has changed,
and everyone who has been part of the attack has now had their
e-mail address, site URL and password changed. No one can publish. We
can't add new users either because the database is full and has
crashed. All the content appears to be intact at the moment, but we won't know
for sure for a while yet. No one can get in touch with Ev...
I'll post a link as soon I find out (or someone tells me) where the
refugees are gathering to pool news.

I'm really sorry if you've been trying to get hold of me for the last few
days. We're in the middle of moving house, and while it's going pretty well,
it does involve me doing most of my Net work within a two hour window in our
old but still-wired house. Our old house is empty of anything but a Web
server, a wireless AP, and house-moving sheddings, so I feel like I'm hacking
from a squat. Again.
Still, relocating is one of those perfect excuses to do a mass
re-re-re-re-organisation of one's life. And thus I imagine that I will have
much more free time, just as soon as I have scanned in all my books'
barcodes, re-installed Debian from scratch, and bought a bunch of useless
boxes from Organised Living.
Yeah, right. Still, we did our final moving cash splurge today, and bought
a Roomba. And, what do you know, it's
actually pretty good: both at cleaning and removing the bejesus out of nearby
cats. It backed Dyson into the corner of our living room within minutes - she
kept tottering backwards for about ten yards, like she was facing the Feline
Terminator.
I feel somehow safer knowing that as I sit here, surrounded by crap,
writing crap, somewhere else in town my new home is being cleaned by a small
beeping robot.
