Outage, Security and more!

My CoLo changed their network configuration last night and took down my server for an extended period of time. The server was functional the entire time, but simply inaccessable due to network changes. It’s obviously working now. Sorry about that, I didn’t know it was going to happen, otherwise I would have worked with them to mitigate the issue.

In other news, I updated my Wiki software a week or so ago for the Computer Museum and Lego thing to fix some security issues in the software. What I forgot to do was to put back in the setting that prevents unregistered edits from the Wikis . .. and then they got spammed by WikiSpamBots. I put the setting back and removed the spam. Meh.

Life goes on. We live, we learn.
