Random Chaos

Not only am I not getting my DreamWidth notifications, I’m not getting them at around the same time I stop getting my LiveJournal notifications. This happens around the time that LJ gets hit with DDoS attacks.

And the DDoS attacks have me wondering one thing, because I noticed one thing that was weird—some of the latest ones have coincided with particularly bloody strings in the television adaptation of the ASoIaF novels (AKA Game of Thrones). A fairly important name in that whole deal actually blogs here (if you know that then names aren’t necessary, and if you don’t I’m not contributing to the hug/poke of death that will ensue).

Let’s just say that if the series were Twitter, all 140 characters’d be dead.

Either way, NEITHER service has been immune to the outages and derpiness that has been going around, and given the one or the other, I’m still more impressed with the old veteran at the service than the newcomer. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the young upstart, but I don’t think the mass exodus is gonna stick.

Also, Kuropantsu, if you’re listening, we need to bang our heads into keyboards to work on the second chapter. My strength is back and I’ve hit the arc wall.
