Denial of Service Attack

It appears that someone launched a denial of service attack on my personal weblog last night - the post at this URL: http://www.thomasleavitt.org/personal/blog/index.php?p=530, accounted for 150 out of the last 200 accesses, and 670 out of the last 1000 when I noticed this… most of them from a small number of similar IP addresses. Given that the post is entitled “Nader endorses Camejo!”, it doesn’t seem unreasonable to draw the conclusion that someone angry about Nader’s selection of Camejo as his VP is trying to exact their revenge. Which is amusing, given that I’ve already stated that if the race is close in California, Kerry is likely to get my vote… despite the fact that I run a web site entitled UnrepentantNaderVoter.com. Not to mention my rather ambiguous feelings about Nader’s campaign, also previously stated (mostly over on Seeing The Forest). :)

Anyway, I wound up temporarily turning my personal blog off, and ultimately had to reboot the server, to prevent the rest of the sites hosted on it from getting hammered. Seems like the Republicans aren’t the only types who believe in censorship. :/
