What happened to our Web site?By Tim Redmond
Well, the simple answer is that we're still not sure -- but there's some indication that we were socked by a denial-of-service attack. Imagine that happening on 6/06/06, in the middle of election day.
Even the folks at DailyKos have been speculating about this, wondering if maybe the Republicans were involved somehow. I dunno; maybe someone local who didn't want our endorsements available (they are now, below, scroll down). Maybe it's just one of those things; maybe it's ....... SATAN!
Either way, we've managed to get this blog up, which will take us through election night.

Tim,
If you want some help tracking that down or to make sure it doesn't happen again, let me know.
Best,
Bruce

This shows the growing political power of the internet and the importance of protecting political free speech and privacy on it. This is why people feel that Muni WiFi should address these issues seriously and with public input rather than negotiating "the best deal for the city"
