# that's true- it's a very good picture
and here's me ignoring it selfishly in order to ascertain the status of m3ss3nger (which incidentally has a very pretty palindrome ip). how wrong, i shall make amends presently:

woo! to the picture! woo and yay!

# hello people
i think i know why m3ss3ng3r is down.
my friend runs an isp and apparantly at half 5 this morning a worm was sent out which exploits a hole in sql severs which haven't been patched. about 30mb of transfers are being generated per second, i'm told. which is why half the internet has fallen over.

great stuff.

# thank you!
that is both interesting and informative! (i know that could possibly sound a bit sarcastic, but trust me it wasn't.) i hope your friend doesn't get too much stick from her customers!

# glad to be of help
luckily my friend's paying customers were all patched, some freebie stuff wasn't though. (and he's a he.)

# Messenger is working for me!
Although it did take no less than 12 attempts to log in. I think perhaps this happens when too many people try to connect at once.

# ah, thanks for the information
