red_lasbelin posting for Kei.

This is the current state of Livejournal. You have GOT to click on that just to see their current status picture - it's perfect!

What it means to me is that since Thursday I've not been able to use LJ. Up till today I couldn't even get on, now I can access my own journal but no one else's and I can't post or comment. This probably has to do with location - southern Africa - and the fact that I'm on dialup.

This post, which I'm asking Red to do for me, is just to say thank you and give tight hugs to everyone who commented with so much sympathy and advice on my last post. Thank you for making me feel really special and cared for. I'll answer individual comments as soon as LJ and the hackers allow.

Btw, I heard Twitter and Facebook were also attacked - anyone know anything about that? I'm not on Twitter…

Love, Kei.

This a most clarifying read:

Twitter Down: It's an Online Attack on One Political Blogger (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Story?id=8278141&page=1)
ABC News Interviews Him. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube Hit By Attack on Him
By ALEXANDER MARQUARDT in MOSCOW and NED POTTER in NEW YORK
Aug. 7, 2009

Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, Google Blogger and other Web sites were hobbled Thursday -- Twitter was completely down for many users -- and it all appears to have been because of a coordinated online attack on one political blogger in the Republic of Georgia.

Explains a lot. Susannah is in extreme mommy need, so *hugs* for you.
