The Internet is closed. Go Away.

When you wake up for the weekend to find that LJ is DOA and your employer-cum-ISP's domain name has been hijacked, it is either time to go back to bed & pull the covers up, or play a fuckload of City of Heroes. No need to guess the path I chose, True Believers!

(Don't look at me like that! This required a) social engineering and b) deep wizardry; we the humble phone firewall could do nothing but field customer email, which I did my part of--Alt-Tab is your friend. This is also why me and my minions were free to attend mir_nyc's lovely birthday bash last night.)

We're back now, after the people at Melbourne IT made their languid way into the office and fixed things (after that first cup of coffee and reading the paper, natch). It may take awhile for the DNS to propagate, though, so if you have Panix correspondents, send to them at panix dot net for the next day or so.

Well, you can tell your boss(es) that the publicity about this event caused me to take note of how much cheaper a shell account would be with Panix than with my current provider, and I'm likely to switch within the next month. So it's not all bad.
