Yesterdays/todays downtime

was caused by a pretty massive DDoS attack on our providers network flooding our database server with requests. The attack was still ongoing around 4pm GMT and we're online because the server monkeys worked very hard to find a "fix". There's almost nothing you can't fix with duct tape.
