My apologies to those of you who have had difficulty accessing Lines and Colors in the last week or so, particularly in the last few days.

The site has apparently been under attack by a particularly persistent bot, resulting in what amounted to a denial of service attack — overloading the web server and even preventing me from accessing the administrative panel for several days.

I’ve finally been able to take steps to counteract that, and hopefully prevent similar occurrences in the future.

  1. Glad to see Lines and Colors back up and sailing Charley. You picked the right painting as I can see all sorts of skirmishes in the detail pics.
    Well, at least it wasn’t your (Mort Künstler or Robert Onderdonk) Alamo!

  2. Glad to see it back! It’s hard to start a day without it!
