Back Again...
Hey, all. I was knocked off-line for a few days, not that I'd been posting anything for the couple of weeks before that.
Seems that some comment spammer decided to take exception to the fact that MT-Blacklist was not letting him spam up the place. He was slamming the blog with a spam comment every 2-3 seconds, which eventually crashed the web server. From this tragedy of poor net citizenship, to two happy events have emerged:
1) I've upgraded to MovableType 3.1, which handles such inconveniences far more gracefully; and
2) The nice folks at LiquidWeb, who host this fabulous little corner of the web, have reconfigured their firewall to block all traffic from the jackass hosting company who owns the top level domain from which this shit-storm originated until such time as they clean up their act.
So, at any rate, I wanted to take a quick moment to wish everyone happy holidays and a prosperous new year. Except for that spammer guy/gal. S/he can bite the big one and die.
