Notice to DDoS Low-life
- At approximately 10:45 AM on Wednesday, February 9, 2000, Albion.com was blacked out by a denial-of-service attack.
To the culprits who launched the attack: Greetz and gr3TE j0b dudz! -- you managed to block a small personal site dedicated to greeting new users, one that dates back to the pre-commercial net and has always stuck close to the roots. Not a corporation even, just a couple of guys running it out of a garage and an old Victorian flat. Unlike Yahoo and eBay, we didn't have a team of network security engineers on call to fix the problem, so we were down for 24 hours. Which is not to say we don't know security, or how to hunt you down in your crummy little shooting galleries. Next time we call the fedz and give them a clue.
For any of you who may be curious about what a denial-of-service attack does to a web site, check out the log files.

TIP: REMEMBER THE HUMAN!
Netiquette means "network etiquette," which, unfortunately, is almost an oxymoron on the network known as the Internet. Are you doing your part to keep the Net polite? Find out at How's Your Netiquette, a quick quiz that lets you know how to cyber-do unto others as you would have them cyber-do unto you.

If, at the very least, this site only convinces people to stop typing e-mails in uppercase, it will have done the e-community a great, great service.
