Apologies for the recent server downtime, this was due to a massive DoS attack on the irc network I run. It effected all my UK servers, including the one this site is hosted on.
Site should be back up and running as normal now.

DoS attack was restarted, ICMP traffic is now being blocked at the core router which should settle things down for now.
