Regular reader Jim Birch has been in touch by email to advise me that this site has been inaccessible and suggests the problem may be access restrictions introduced in response to the Blaster worm. I am looking into this, but haven’t made any progress yet. I’ve had lots of similar problems with other blogs in the last couple of weeks so it seems as if this worm is still doing lots of damage. To anyone who can read this and has any helpful suggestions, please make them.

According to http://www.whois.sc/ranters.net, your site is on a UNIX server (?), so Blaster shouldn’t be having any effect.
John, I’ve been having problems accessing Ranters from work (along with Tim Blair and The Spin Starts Here, etc), and the Ubersportingpundit blogs from home. I’ll keep you posted as I find out what’s happening.
But if it is, this with related references may be useful:
