Oh sure! I get all excited about Typepad and then it goes and breaks.  Here’s the message I just read on the Status page:

Since approximately 4:00 pm Pacific Daylight Time, Six Apart has
been the victim of a sophisticated distributed denial of service
attack. This has affected all of Six Apart’s sites, causing
intermittent and limited availability for TypePad, LiveJournal,
TypeKey, sixapart.com, movabletype.org and movabletype.com. Our network
operations staff is working around the clock with our Internet access
providers to resolve the issue. We appreciate your patience and
support, and will provide updates as we have them.

That was 6 hours ago!  Gulp… Let’s hope this is just a one-time thing.
