Are you kidding me? Life Magazine is back! Online at least! http://www.life.com YAY! #photog VIA @jimgoldstein
I’ve been up for 2 straight days dealing with the DDOS attack that took down our blogs for a day so good night. Tomorrow MYDL.ME launches!
And yes just to prove to you the Internet breeds whiners - some people complained about me giving away too much! No problem - blocked!
Some people just don’t want to be happy. Me, even when it’s rainy & cold, I’m wearing my Tommy Bahama shirt, my straw hat & a wide smile :)
Official total - I gave away 12 brand new Drobos ($6000 worth) during the month of March! #drobo

Despite the trouble caused by the DDOS service attack - I am STILL giving away a Drobo today. The winner will announce at MYDL.ME today.
If you’re having trouble accessing TWIP or MYDL please reset or clear your cache that might solve the problem for some 90% reporting up.
TWIP & MYDL.ME are offline on the east coast but seem to be well other places. We’re working on it. MYDL.ME will launch tomorrow for sure.
Sorry that some of you can’t access our sites. Most parts of the world can get to us. We’re still working on access to MYDL and TWIPPHOTO.

ATTN: It looks like the tech masters at GoGrid brought us back. TWIPPHOTO and MYDL.ME should be back up. Thanks for your patience.
Thanks everyone looks like it’s down again everywhere. We had some TWIP access but it’s gone. Found out it isn’t directed at us personally.
If people could try TWIPPHOTO.COM and let me know if they can access I’d appreciate it. Apparently the DDOS is impacting some places not all
The support guys at GoGrid is working hard to a) fight off the massive DDOS attack and b) get TWIPPHOTO (along with many others) a DB conect
Sorry folks despite the fact it’s been several hours GoGrid is still restoring from DDOS attack. TWIP and MYDL should be up soon.
RT VIA @markfuccio Is this the @scottbourne #drobo collection? http://twitpic.com/2m9uz LOL!
Sorry I mistyped my last Tweet it’s aDDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack, not DNS. Thanks.
TWIP and MYDL.ME are down due to a DNS attack on our host GoGrid. They’re working to fix the problem. Thanks for your patience.

Gotta spend morning doing doctor stuff. Week is not off to a good start.
This might be just the spark I need to hold something like Aperture World in January 2010 in Tampa - Kelby’s backyard no less :)
I like Paul Kent-I wish him well with MacWorld. But I can’t go due to date change and the feedback I’m getting on Twitter is 5-1 against.
Was it a mistake to move Macworld Expo dates or does it make it easier for you to go? It’ll be the first one I don’t attend in a long time.
RT Via @stevesimon sign-in and vote: http://tinyurl.com/aky7za -PLEASE vote for my friend Steve Simon’s project. He deserves to win. #photog
It’s official. I’ll miss Macworld 2010. They moved it to Feb 9-conflicts with other long-standing engagement. Might be time for alternative.
We’ve moved more of our photo-related videos to SmugMug. http://tinyurl.com/cbtmkg #photog
