The move is almost complete

Saturday, July 8th, 2006

I’ve moved this site to a new server. The DNS hasn’t quite propagated all over, but most visitors will see this new site.

There are some gremlins with weird characters in the imported databases, but apart from that I haven’t seen any problems. Could you guys notify me if you see anything wrong? Either comment on this post, or e-mail me. You’ll find an e-mail address on the About Me page.

DDOS attack

Tuesday, July 4th, 2006

My blog is under a DDOS attack at the moment. It’s back up right now, but the attack goes on.

Read more about the outfit that’s behind the DDOS attack at Zdnet’s spyware blog.

I’m looking at more DDOS proof hosting…

Update: This particular trojan is designed in such a way that it’ll most likely keep the denial of service attack up as long as there are still infected machines out there. The only way it’ll stop is if the trojan is removed or updated.

I’ve made some changes to the site that are inconveniences, both to me and visitors. But with these changes, the DDoS attack won’t make my webhost knock me offline.
