...for now.  It's been a roller coaster ride of up and down the past few days.

Update:  I've tried accessing this site at least a dozen times today and managed to get through only twice.

Mike,
I have experienced the same failure rate today. I sent a status update request to Tormek IT. I will post any updates.

Tormek IT replied that according to our hosting service, we had an attack by a botnet. That is way above my paygrade, however, we are hopefully done with it.

Thanks for being alert, guys.

My money weas on a DDOS (distributed denial of service) attack. All too common these days. Insecure smart devices making it easier.
