Am I the only one who gets a CloudFlare captcha (from two completely different German IP addresses ) when trying to access the blog?

  Your IP address based on the country, region or network has been flagged by the website owner.
  Completing the challenge above proves you are a human and gives you temporary access. You can ask the website owner to permanently whitelist you.

I also got one. I think it's just ddos right now from everywhere.

I think it's just the much lauded cloud flare showing their true colors.

Indeed -- defending a blog (effectively, and for free) against a moderate DDoS :)

I'm not so sure how effective their defense is: I get a memory error on that page now.
