Tek Nickel Difew Culties

(or: Technical Difficulties)
If you tried to access Manhattan Loft Guy late Friday or into Saturday, you probably got the same message I got, more or less this:

website not found; if you are sure you have typed the URL correctly, please try again later

Arrrrggghhhh. As they say,

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Turns out that some malicious SOBs evaded spam controls at the MLG blog host and flooded many blogs with spam comments, which generated emails from the host to bloggers like me that a comment had been posted. I got 1,500+ such emails between about 11PM Friday and 1 PM Saturday, before the blog host got the spam shields back up.

So … I am sure it was a pain for you if you failed to reach MLG. It certainly was a pain for me to delete 1,500 emails (manually, individually; darn that Outlook Web Access!). I look forward (not!) to deleting the comments (later).

I am told that won’t happen again, which we know means it won’t happen again until it happens again.

but seriously, folks
Sorry for the inconvenience.
