If you tried to access our blog over the past few hours you would have been unsuccessful. The reason for this was that our blog is hosted and run by a service called Posterous (which is great) which was the victim of a denial of service (DoS) attack to their core load-balancing services. What this means in english is that they were flooded with malicious amounts of traffic which basically blocks our requests from really users. 

Credit to the guys at Posterous which not only apologised for the problem (that wasn't their fault) but also offered a quick solution which would get things back up and running.

In short thanks Posterous and our blog is back up and running again.
