There was a DDOS attack on Lunarpages.com, which is where we have our dedicated server. It was just around 1AM our time as we were heading off to bed, so I don't know how long it lasted.
(DDOS stands for Dedicated Denial Of Service ... someone maliciously
uses software to make it seem like tens of thousands of visitors are coming to the target server, overloading it and shutting it down ... Clancy can explain better).
