White House tells court, “You are not the boss of me”
Our own David Gewirtz has published on CNN.com again:
It can be breathtaking to watch the ultimate powers in America taunt each other like children in a schoolyard. Amid all the excitement over our brand-new President, there’s an epic battle going on to preserve the history of our outgoing one.
On Friday, United States Magistrate Judge John Facciola issued an emergency preservation order to the White House, demanding the Bush administration search computers for email records and turn over all email records and computer media to the National Archives.
Late Friday night, the White House responded with what was essentially, “Nyah, nyah, nyah, you can’t make me.”
Read the full article. For the record, that’s six times David’s been on CNN.com in about a week and a half. But who’s counting?

DoS undone
If you found yourself having some difficulty getting into the server tonight, it’s because we’ve been fighting off a DoS attack on one of our magazine sites and my personal site. The attacks are on the only two sites referenced from the CNN articles I wrote.
We traced the attacks to the Philippines. Of course, some savvy person could have routed to the Philippines, but ya never know. In the meantime, we’ve basically been down for the last few hours and I’ve been building custom code and working with my excellent ISP Prominic.NET to block it. Late Friday night, while they’re packing for Lotusphere, and they helped out. This is why I always recommend them.
Anyway, I wrote some code and it looks like between Prominic’s firewall stuff and my added security protocols this nuisance has been defanged. Gotta love the Internet! — David
