I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how angry I am

While this is going on

As you may have noticed, my posts are posted at http://andrewducker.dreamwidth.org/ first, and are then crossposted to LJ.

As crossposting isn't working very well while the DDOS is going on, I can't guarantee that they'll end up over here until I can manually intervene, which I cannot do at work, as work blocks DW.

So, if you want to keep up to date feel free to friend me over there (I have invites if anyone wants them). I have no intention of abandoning LJ, but it is nice to have an alternate site running.
