If that link does not work, just come back later and try again. It has not been taken offline. It seems that the Information Super-Highway is in the middle of a monstrous traffic jam, and the server is overloaded. From the Shotgun blog:

"It seems that our website has beeen overloaded by traffic this morning and our web provider has suspended our account temporarily. This won't affect the blog.
"We'll be back up soon.

Now, let's hope the server recovers nicely.
