ajva basically has no LJ access at all at the moment, due to the barriers giving it some relief from the DDoS attack. (what's a DDOS attack?) May the scum responsible be dragged from their homes and beaten to a bloody pulp with baseball bats. Oh, and Bill Gates can have a swift kicking too for encouraging so many people to go online with insecure machines.

I tried to post this to your post about anonymous comments, but it turns out I can't even post comments either (presumably LJ is still blocking my server or whatever) - could you possibly post it somewhere appropriate? Many thanks...

Hello, ajva here.
I hope you will forgive me hijacking this thread to make a small announcement. But seeing as you mentioned the DDoS attack I thought this was as good a place as any to say that I am completely locked out from my account and have been since the whole attack started. I only just got back into any LJ at all five minutes ago. I can't login at present. I'm assuming this will clear up soon but any geek advice would be welcome.
OTOH, I felt a strange sense of calm yesterday at not being able to see LJ and it was quite liberating. Maybe I should consider LJ holidays, except that then I wouldn't know what any of my pals were up to. Damn. Kind of locked in now, really.
On another note, am feeling faintly embarrassed about my over-effusive hungover gushing about the Tatchman the other day but fortunately louis_mallow turns out to be a sound geezer and you will all be delighted to hear that no further kittens are necessary. ;oP
Anyway, general notice to everybody: please email me if you want anything...
