Two interesting tidbits floating around on Slashdot: It sounds like the servers will start flooding www.whitehouse.gov tomorrow (the 20th) and not today (makes sense, since the site is still up). I haven't gotten any more connection attempts since 7 PM (0000 GMT, July 20). Of course, the worm could be broken. Additionally, it sounds like DSL routers can get knocked out even if the web interface is disabled. I guess the port is still open or something (I don't have one, so I can't test..)
