Bill,

Don't forget about ASV and Command Post too!

They're back now.

Tonight's going to be interesting. I plan on drunk-blogging it over at Houblog, along with DrHeinous, if I can roust him.

Thanks.

I didn't know what was going on.

buzzmachine is intermittant as well.
Looks more like just very heavy traffic and Hosting Matters.

Looks like they took out Vodkapundit, too.

That's a crappy thing to do. If I couldn't access here, and protein wisdom, I might actually have to do some work today.

Thank you for that information. Also Wizbang and Captain's Quarters were having similar problems.

At least we still have you! :)

That explains it.

I wish they had brought The Corner down before its irresponsible announcement of those phony exit polls.

I hope The Corner's blunder has not depressed Republican outcome anywhere.

From what I can tell, the libs are having the same sort of issues. I was trying to get some idea of what the other side thinks, and couldn't reach the Daily Kos or some of the other liberal blogs for a large portion of the day. It's probably just traffic.

ubu I tried to access your blog, it timed out. LGF and Instapundit are still timing out as well.

You don't suppose it's just election nite overload?

Instapundit is still down. It has an alternate access site - does anyone remember what is is?

He's back - and it's instabackup.blogspot.com

EVERYTHING is slow, folks - there is no DoS attack. Hell, most liberals can't even SPELL "DoS".

*rimshot*

On the left side, Josh Marshall's talking points memo was down for several hours. It's just back up. It may just be a matter of heavy traffic; Kevin Drum reports getting twice the usual amount at his blog.

--Rick Taylor

I have also seen trouble with site meter not tracking visitors today. Anywat it looks like early returns show Kerry leading among exhibitionists.

I logged on to all three with no problem.

Probably overload. Atrios was down, too; and Kos was apologizing for slow connections, earlier.

If I were to launch a DOS attack targeting pro-Bush sites, I'd start at one place: NRO.

I've had no trouble accessing it today.

Still, I'm annoyed that I can check so few of my favorites.

My site, blitheringbunny.com, had triple the trafic, and I'm not even blogging on the election - it went from 2 visits a day to 6! I'm having a nervous breakdown!

Apparently it's just heavy traffic. Hosting Matters, who host a lot of the big blogs, have been having problems.

Instapundit BACK UP SITE

If it was just heavy traffic, would I still find myself repeatedly at some website selling medications when I tried to get to the conservative blogs? The same medication website, no matter what url I actually typed in- that sure looks suspicious to me.

Heavy traffic sounds right - my own site is also down and it's on HM.

Check out http://www.internethealthreport.com and you'll see some networks under strain.

WendiSue - that sounds like you have something nasty on your PC.

Download Ad Aware from http://lavasoftusa.com and scan it.

It was Command Post's fault. They broke the Internet.

I'm going to atribute it to server meltdown due to massive page requests. Same thing as a DoS in a good/bad sense. Their hardware just can't deal with the volume of traffic hitting the sites.

Damn them! You never see Republicans doing crap like this. It was just like the street thugs at the Republican convention and all the vandalism and breakins at the Bush/Cheney offices. Only the Democrats do things like this, or at least it is 90/10.

PixieMisa,

I have zonealarm and spybot. Do you think I still need Ad Aware? And the medical website only came up for several of the conservative blogs. I could do other stuff without it showing up.

Thanks!
