Actually...

This may be symptomatic of watching Love, Actually "too many times"*, but Jump by the Pointer Sisters just came on my iPod and I now want to leap around the office doing the Hugh Grant dance routine from that film.

It's actually a pretty difficult temptation to resist...

David.

*Pfft. There's no such thing as too many times to watch Love, Actually. Whatever Sarah says...

Sooo...

Tentatively, LJ appears to be working, but comment notifications appear to be...I think the word "borked" may be appropriate.

And my mood has lifted considerably since last night - huge thanks to all those who offered v-hugs.

DDoS off.

My thoughts on the wave of DDoS attacks that have been besetting Livejournal lately, as expressed by the second Doctor in Enemy of the World:

"People spend all their time making nice things and then other people come along and break them!"

He talked a lot of sense, did my favourite Doctor (yes Smith, yes Tennant, yes Baker C, but really, Troughton was Da Man). I love Livejournal. It's my home from home, and I've made some fantastic friends through it, and been able to keep up with loads of existing friends because of it. I hope these...whoever it is, who are doing the DDoS attacks, quit. I hope LJ and its users don't quit.

That said, if you want to pop over to Dreamwidth to at least set up a second residence there (and maybe back up your LJ, which is quite possible), I have ten invite codes. PM me your email address.

But please don't leave - I don't know what I'd do without you guys!
