The pooch has once again been screwed.

We love you, our customers. But sometimes one bad apple spoils the bunch. Last Saturday one of our clients was not as diligent as they should have been with doing security updates to their software and things were compromised. Don’t worry, it wasn’t your data that was compromised. It was just that their boneheaded-ness caused people to send crap-tons of traffic out of the network, effectively shutting the network down. it’s silly, we know and we’re sorry. They’ve been thoroughly tongue-lashed. Let us know how hard you had it and we’ll hook up service credits accordingly.

Love,

The Logjamming Staff

The our main shared webserver was getting hit by a DDoS attack this morning. After a few minutes of slowness and a few minutes of unresponsiveness we got it all straightened out and got a firewall filter in place to block traffic.

Atlantic City!

I love Atlantic City. It gets a bad rap for being dirty and trashy and crime-ridden, but it’s a pretty fun place if you like to gamble. I’m heading up there tonight for the World Series Of Poker Circuit Event at Harrah’s. I love playing tournament poker and these WSOPCEs tend to draw very large fields so it should be fun. I’ll be there 3 or 4 days depending on how well I do. Wish me luck!

Happy Thanksgiving!

…is a return to form for the Coens, which is to say it’s an excellent movie, but is at the same time completely different in tone than almost any other movie they have made. This movie affected me, and I really recommend it. Unique, suprising, original, yet using standard genre conventions so it feels familiar in many ways. The greatest accomplishments of the film are the character of Chigurh (played by Javier Bardem), the breathtaking cinematography by the incomparable Roger Deakins, and the momentum and efficiency of the script.

This movie is unsettling and deliberate… and for most viewers, I would imagine, unsatisfying. But I can’t think of a movie that I’ve seen in the last year that I would recommend more. Go see this movie.

Get out and vote!

Choke

For those of you who have not seen the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk’s book “Choke”, see it now before it leaves the theaters. In my opinion it was a great adaptation that was true to the spirit and the tone of the book. Now, true, there is some humor in the movie and rather than making you feel disgusted at Victor they make you nervously laugh along, but this was a great add on to the story.

Hockey is back!

The shortest offseason in all of professional sports is finally over! This week, the NHL 08-09 season kicks off in full swing, after last weekend’s four games staged in Europe. As a hockey fiend and proud new owner of Washington Capitals season tickets, I am bouncing with excitement. Yes, the Stanley Cup Finals only ended in June (yes, it was June and there was still hockey!!!!@~), but three months is way more of a break than I ever need.

Alexander Ovechkin is pumped, aren’t you??

Plesk 8.6 Upgrade!!!!

brian — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 21:37:50 +0000

Hey everybody. After our normal 45 days of letting the software developers work out some of the kinks, Plesk 8.6 is finally ready to rock. The upgrade will happen during one of the evenings this weekend (sorry for not being specific) after 1:00am EDT. It will probably last 3-4 hours if anything like the past upgrades so, if it’s down for a little bit in the middle of the night, it’s cool. We’re just making stuff better for you!
