Wall 'o weather

[altivo]

There's an arc of severe thunderstorms due here in ten minutes or so, thunder rattling now. In case power goes out, and because DW is slow again, I'll post this quickly.

It looks even nastier out toward the Mississippi, where there's a tornado warning live. We have a watch here, but that clump of supercells is probably headed this way too.

Work is starting to calm down as summer reading club closes out this week. They already had their pool party on Sunday, but there are prizes and drawings to be held this week, and then it's done. I think everyone has had more than enough of it this time.

Gary found a tree down in our back field today. A wild cherry, no idea why as there were no severe winds or anything in the last 24 hours and it had to have fallen then. I suppose we may know once we cut it up.

There goes the weather radio again, so that's it for tonight.

Well, I think that DW is slow, because of the DDOS attacks going on over at LJ; the LJ_Refugees community I'm in has been getting really active as of late.

I don't think I understand why DDOS attacks on LJ should affect DW performance.

Unless you mean that DW is experiencing rapid growth now due to the continued decline of services at LJ. That might make sense. DW issued a notice yesterday saying that they were aware of "slowness" and looking into the cause, so I suspect it is something else.

Yeah, last notice I saw did indicate a specific problem on the DW servers.
