TypePad Update

Since
approximately 4:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Six Apart has been the
victim of a sophisticated distributed denial of service attack. This
has affected all of Six Apart’s sites, causing intermittent and limited
availability for TypePad, LiveJournal, TypeKey, sixapart.com,
movabletype.org and movabletype.com. Our network operations staff is
working around the clock with our Internet access providers to resolve
the issue. We appreciate your patience and support, and will provide
updates as we have them.

Update, 11:40 pm PDT: Access and availability to
our sites has improved. We continue to work closely with our Internet
access providers and will monitor the situation through the night.

Why do people do this? Is it just vandalism?
I don’t get it.

I guess people do this kind of thing simply to prove that they can and that they are smarter than the people who create the security system. What frustrates me is the amount of money it costs to set up the security for every single computer in the world —

Power is its own reward, they say. But there’s probably an adrenaline rush, too. Males are simple beasts.

I thought they maybe were having power problem since Livejournal was knock out too. But no it was that. Real nice.

Ancestral (Artificial )Intelligence

I do not use AI to write. For me, writing is how I think, and I prefer to do it myself. If/when I post anything here that I suspect or know to be AI generated, I will tell you.

I have changed this from Artificial to Ancestral, after Abi Awomosu @ Substack. This medium was made with human history, human thought. All of it, bright and dark. It is ancestral.

Poems

Please do not assume that I am the speaker/ subject of my poems.

In these times of creative nonfiction and fictionalized memoirs, I think of the poem itself as true fiction: it is most likely not factual, but it must be true.

It is likely to be — it is best if it is — a truth I did not know before I wrote, and may not understand even then.

A poem is my way of discovering (dis-covering) what I feel; sometimes, what I think — but it is not necessarily biographical.
