Re: 8/17 Outage?
Update:

We now know that the "outage" was due to the intentional disconnect of our servers from the net. Apparently, localendar.com was the target of a massive DOS (Denial of Service) attack yesterday (heh: "yesterday". I only write that b/c it's now 12:51 AM tired )

The attack was so sever that it was causing problems for other machines on our provider's subnet. Which is why we were disconnected.

Why we were not notified so that appropriate countermeasures could be taken is currently unknown.
