Trouble with LJ
Hi *waves*
I am so glad to be connected again. I heard about the trouble with LJ, but it seemed to hit me 24 hours later than everybody else. I am usually only on line from 5.30 to 6.00am on week days and yesterday it was fine, but today... I haven't been able to get onto LJ at all, until just now.
Having taken a quick look at my flist, I don't see anybody complaining, so was this just me?
There was something about a go-slow for British users, earlier in the week. Was that the problem?
Anyone got any ideas?
Also, those who read my stories might have noticed that I use http://www.twiztv.com/scripts/ to check on canon dialogue. Today I went there and got a pop-up message that my computer was infected. The site opened up an application that started scanning my hard drive. I closed everything down and disconnected from the internet. Then I ran a thorough virus and adware check (my anti-virus software is up-to-date) and it all came up clean. So I am left thinking that the twiztv site has been corrupted.
Unless anyone knows different?
Anyway, as a result, chapter 19 of Bewitched will be a bit late. I do still aim to post today, though - I just have a lot of typing to do. Sorry for the delay.

I was affected by the UK-wide problem on Tuesday which was due to a broken connection (http://community.livejournal.com/lj_uk/) and yesterday a couple of my American friends told me LJ was down for them for quite a while. One said there's a worldwide problem with hackers attacking social networking sites in general though I haven't seen any confirmation of that.
There's a note on the LJ status site that connection may be slow due to heavy usage, which seems rather lame.
Edit: I see

Yes, I heard about that. It was on the radio - twitter, facebook and LJ, but it was supposed to be over by now. The LJ Status report is from yesterday (and presumably that is the US version of yesterday, too).
I don't know. It might have been that, but I was trying constantly from 6am and nothing. *shrugs* I guess I'm just glad to be back, but I was curious.
