My site was offline for hours, during which time the blogosphere speculated wildly about problems related to Daylight Saving Time. GoDaddy had nothing to say about it when I checked yesterday, and has nothing now, though it seems that at some point a note about <a modo=\"false\" href=\"http:\/\/isc.sans.org\/diary.html?storyid=2430&amp;rss\"><font color=\"#b54141\">technical difficulties<\/font><\/a> was posted.<\/p>\n<p>Scanning the commentary on various sites yesterday yielded no conclusion. The outage either was, or wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, a denial of service attack unrelated to DST.
