More Hacker Attacks!
 
Dear Eratosphereans,

You might have found the site
was down today
crippled by the blight
of hackers who prey
on us with DOS attacks
but I have won
this round and sealed the cracks
and hope they’ll bug out and be gone!

Cheers,
…Alex

OH. MY. GOD.

Captain Alex is posting a poem in a non-poem thread.

Can I please spank you?

Thank you for protecting us from the vicious hackers, Capt'n! But I still think I need to spank you!

(hee hee heee!!!!!!!!!!)

Alex,

I wondered what was going on;
was someone playing silly tricks?
The site was well and truly gone!
How would I get my daily fix
of Metrical, of D & A,
all that poetic bric-a-brac?
I’m glad to hear you won the day
and that Eratosphere is back.

P.S.

Hehehe Cally! You spake of spanking ... & you're the right one for it! ;)

And I declare this thread, an Eratosphere-stress-relieving-post-away-your-heart-lightening-poems thread! ... and I see that Brian has already jumped in!

Cheers,
...Alex

Thus spaketh the duly spanked King!

Wake today, and quake with fear:
Get my coffee, get no ‘sphere
Yay for A who’s cyber-clear:
Get the hack outta here!

Maryann Corbett 08-01-2013 12:23 PM

just because this is an opportunity not to be missed
 
Slackery quackers! Im-
pertinent hackers had
bunged up the server with
code-slinging pranks.

Alex has bested them
technolo-magic'ly,
and for this blessing, we
proffer our thanks.

Janice D. Soderling 08-01-2013 12:32 PM

Oh, Maryann, that is ELEGANT.

Norman Ball 08-01-2013 02:26 PM

Please do spackle the cracks
through which hackers will steal.
Mr. Pepple, show mettle
and tighten the keel.

Our poems need help.
But overtly, I feel.
Leaky form piques fresh mischief.
Imagine the squeal

with temptation so keen:
That the thief took the wheel.

Norman Ball 08-01-2013 02:27 PM

Alex, I feel you will live to regret this Armistice Day.
