Our main website is currently under attack. We're working to mitigate this attack at the moment and hope to have our site back online shortly.

We'll post further updates when we have them.

Update: 20:30

This attack is on-going, our site may be available to some people and not to others. We're working on a resolution currently. We hope to resolve this issue in the next 24 hours.

Update: June 9th 08:15

This DDOS continued for 4 days solid. We did however keep our site online for the duration and I'll write up some notes on how we did this in the not too distant future.

Ouch, my commiserations. A blog about the measures you put in place to mitigate this attack (when the dust settles) would be very interesting.

Agreed - had been thinking the same myself!
