Show me the love.. please?

Apparently someone doesn’t care for the opinions expressed on this site since for the past 12 hours urgo.org has been under a DDoS attack. Several other things are hosted off here such as mycmatera.com, dotGET.org, and a few other misc things like an irc bot or two so I have no idea why exactly I’m getting attacked. Did someone really not like my reference to the staples commercial and want to shut me up?
Anyway, their attacks are not working. The site is still up and running w/o much of a problem. Over the past 5 hours I’ve been banning each ip address they send at me: 24.247.4.117, 68.8.229.131, 12.247.15.183, 68.10.55.230, 66.30.195.246, 24.171.72.146, 65.56.11.19, 207.30.190.20, 65.58.66.185. With any luck this 25k/sec attack will stop over night. Silly script kiddies.
On the other side of bandwith, I’m back at umass and have been enjoying having web pages come up in less then 2 minutes. I finished setting up my part of the room and once martha gets here I’ll stick a pic on the blog.
Thats it for tonight. Tomorrow freshmen move into umass and I gotta work 8:30-5 at the helpdesk and count how many people forgot their passwords or are illiterate and can’t RTFM. You’d be supprised how many college students don’t even bother looking at documentation they are sent before calling in for help. =] Night all. (Goto bed script kiddie, its past your bedtime =] )

Sorry about the DDoS Urgo. But, I’m just jealous of your site…
