Hi Jared,

I was just onsite with a client and was referencing something from the
Webaim site and it appeared to be offline.
Then when I got back home to recheck it seems very definitely off line!

Can you shed any light in this, ( I hope its not permanent).

Thanks

Josh

Everything is back up and running. We're still trying to figure out
what happened. It went down, of course, in the middle of the night
here so we weren't apprised of the situation until just now. Thanks
for the heads up.

Of course! Server's *NEVER* go down during business hours, only late at
night, or on the weekend when you are at a wedding or other similar family
function. Glad to hear all is back up and rolling.

On digest format, so apologies if this has already been brought up..
Don't know how it came up, but my sister, ironically a totally
non-tech oriented individual, said just last night she had heard on
the news that .org websites suffered a [denial of service] somehow.. A
very quick (creative) Internet news search just now shows something
mentioning [hackers], UltraDNS, and .org websites end of last week..
Not necessarily what occurred in this instance, but certainly a
could-be aspect toggled when I saw the .org in your signature.. ;)
