Things have been moving so fast over the last five days I haven’t had a chance to come up for air.

Concerns around Wikileaks DNS for easyDNS Members
I’ve received a few emails and comments to the blog expressing perfectly understandable concern around easyDNS providing DNS for wikileaks.ch (what’s more, wikileaks.nl has also just added our DNS to their nameserver delegation).
