“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

I am glad you noticed Fr. Z as I wanted to listen to the latest Lentcast and could not. I wondered if someone had tried to hijack your site…welcome back. ^^
I’m glad it was easily fixed! I saw that earlier and was afraid something catastrophic had happened. That’s interesting that Drudge was down as well–I have never seen that happen.
First, lightning strikes Saint Peter’s Basilica on the day Pope Benedict resigns; then the earth is “attacked” by an asteroid and a meteor; then NASA loses its command and control circuit to the Space Station; and now this. It’s going to be an interesting Lent. TEOTWAWKI?
I’ve been having problems all week with the blog not working properly.
Thanks for explaining. I thought it was because I am in the wilds of Kent…
I checked in several times today and while it loaded more slowly than usual at least twice, I had no major problems getting on.
Google Mail also slow these last few days, with poor connectivity. Your blog header and a few side bars were loading, but no content, Father. Good to see you back up.
It has been loading pretty slowly for me for about a week, at least.
Do you really want to imply you have something in common with Free Republic and Drudge ? I doubt it ;)
Wouldn’t surprise me if it was the work of some sorry hackers with too much time on their hands.
If your best argument is to silence the opposition, it doesn’t say much for your position, does it?… Oops, did I just take down all progressivism?
It’s been slow for me too, and usually it comes up “Safari cannot open blah blah blah”. It’s been doing this since the pope announced his resignation. Maybe it’s a conspiracy by all the liberal newsies against you trying to block visitors from your blog.
I also had problems earlier today–similar to Therese.
I learned yesterday that although Chinese hacks are the #1 scourge of the Internet these days, Chicago is now #2. It appears that some Chinese hackers have considered that it is relatively easy to block ranges of IP addresses to reduce the attacks, they have taken to hijacking servers in Chicago which then become agents of further attacks. Since few would wish to simply block Chicago, the challenge is greater.
