I apologize if I haven’t posted for the last three days. Work has been draining me pretty heavily due to a couple projects plus I get some of the messier cases thanks to my experience, skill and seniority. Then we’ve been housesitting over the weekend which is always a great time because our hosts have three cats, a big HD TV with digital cable, a pool and a hot tub (which they give us permission to use). Too bad the weather knew this! Even Central Texas has been rather cold in the evening…by local standards.
Meanwhile, something hammered on the server yesterday cutting me off from it via Timbuktu but oddly the web page was unaffected. I had to restart the Mini to regain contact. The logs couldn’t show any proof of an intrusion or attempts. I still changed the root password to something hard to “guess” through a dictionary attack. Believe me, there are computer thugs in Third World countries with the time on their hands to bother.
So, here’s a quick heads up on a small flood of stories which might be coming your way should you be wisely get updated on my page via an RSS feed. If you don’t know what I just mentioned, drop me a line and I will gladly you assist you on this. The “fireball” story marked 100 posts with the new WordPress software too.
