Gary North Site Under Attack?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : HumptyDumptyY2K : One Thread

Just attempted to get into "Scary" Dr. Gary's page, keep getting "connection refused/invalid argument" I know my proxy is good, but what's up? Are we seeing a concerted attack profile developing? Anyone else got this happening?

I got on his forum this morning without difficulty. However, it was very slow -- suggesting that there is a heavy load. It's possible that the server hiccuped when you tried to access it....

Presumably all the TB2000 regulars who failed to log on here, jumped over to Gary's site to get the second-best daily newspaper in town.

I got in to the Gary North site about 0100 UTC (Dec. 30).

Don't worry, be happy. His site is probably just being completely downloaded.
