Couldn’t access your site yesterday from Germany.
A few days ago I had to ask dda for help to read your posts. He has a temporary solution here. Though the comment section is not accessable through his link (it would be sometimes a good feature for flame wars at Marmot’s ;))

I couldn’t access your site from Canada either. Now I can. It’s definitely a system glitch somewhere.

I couldn’t gain access for a few days. I was actually wondering if the U.S. Homeland Security (or is it Commerce?) Dep’t had borrowed a few pages off the MIC and implemented their own ban of anarchistic websites that dare to denounce Abraham Lincoln as a human rights violator!

Yeah, it wasn’t MIC. It was my web hoster, which experienced some sort of major foul up during the weekend. Things seem relatively back to normal now. Let’s hope it stays that way.

I couldn’t get in for 24 hours + in San Diego or LA, so I doubt it’s the MIC if your site is hosted in Utah.

The good news is it seems to be loading fine for me today.

I couldn’t get access either, Marmot. Do they have a “MIC” on Coconut Islands or Utah?

Oddly, I presently cannot directly access your blog, but I can get here by going through posts on Oranckay and Flying Yangban that link to your archive section, then clicking on your banner to return ‘home’. I thought I might just have good timing, but I tried again and it’s only access to the home address that’s having trouble.

As I said, the problem was different from a blocked sire: when asking for the pseudo-subdomain “blog.marmot.cc” I got — and I’m sure I am not the only one — a “domain unknown” error, which seems to point towards a DNS problem. Especially since marmot.cc was available all the time… The Utahans may think everything is hunky dory from where they sit — which sould be bloody expected — but it doesn’t mean their DNS server ain’t broke…
