Down Time

As some of you may have noticed, the Fwonk* website seems to be inaccessible. Last week, the website was subject to a DoS attack and the site temporarily went down.

The hosting company, SiteGround restored the website and moved the information from one machine to another. No DNS or IP information was altered during this move.

The website remains active for many, especially those accessing from home, but for whatever reason, the website remains inaccessible for many trying to access from work. Yet the site will work via a Proxy site, but not via a "porn-mode" window in Chrome.

However, and much to my surprise, the main site is partly accessible through IE8 privacy mode, and I aim to refresh much of the HTML to see if it accessible in other browsers.

I have no idea why this might account for any errors, but if anyone has any further suggestions for helping with this issue, please comment here and let me know!

Many thanks!

Would you stick your 'chap' in here?

For reasons best known to themselves, a crack group of science and robotics geeks (who probably still live with their mothers) have created this, above. It, believe it or not, is a robotic vagina. According to io9:

[It] is a variable speed, textured delight - it even delivers "throbs" at appropriate moments. And it's programmed to respond to input from porn movies. So plug this baby into your computer, fire up your favorite vid, and the Real Touch will match the speed and intensity of the action on screen.

To me, it looks like some kind of gardening tool, probably for massaging lawns or something. Or an electric clothes mangle. And the 'digital interactivity' now makes it the single saddest, most pathetic invention in the history of mankind.
