cblj_backupSo then LJ blocked my IP!
STAY CLASSY, LIVEJOURNAL. YOU JUST STAY YOUR CLASSY ASS SELF.
Jesus at this point the migration to Dreamwidth can't fucking come soon enough. BTW, a bunch of us have codes so don't be shy, kids. You too can use a blogging platform that actually gives a shit about its userbase!
I realised that Dreamwidth could post to LJ when I couldn't, that's what last night's test was about, and then I realised that I could access LJ through my iPhone but only if I disconnected it from my router. Thus: ISP or IP blockage, and since my ISP is, you know, AT&T, probably not that.
So I disconnected my router, restarted it, reset the IP, and blam, functional LJ. IF YOU CAN'T SEE LJ, give this a shot. It's probably your IP that's the problem.
Because I could not see the results of the poll last night and I was very very tired and the shrimp had, in fact, already gone off, I made myself a sandwich. Sometimes sandwiches are best.
EDITED TO ADD: YES, I KNOW LJ HAD A DDOS ATTACK. And I'm sure my IP being blocked had to do with that. But LJ mostly recovered by yesterday afternoon, to the point where everyone I knew could both view LJ and comment; hell, I could do that from work. But at home I had no access. At all. No commenting, no posting, no viewing, no replying to other comments, consistently and permanently, and probably would still not this morning if I hadn't reset my IP. I couldn't get to www.livejournal.com, I couldn't get to a complaints page, and there was nothing about blocked IPs on their status page.
