Sorry For The Inconvenience

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009 | General | By: Midwestern City Boy

We apologize if you tied to visit earlier today and all you received was a “waiting for…” message in the status bar. For several hours in the late afternoon (local time) an ill-behaved bot made repeated requests and slowed the response time for legitimate users to a crawl. The firewall should have detected it and dampened them; but for some reason, the appropriate rule wasn’t triggered. I’ve banned their IP and made some other adjustments to prevent this sort of thing from happening again in the future. I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still very much alive and kicking.

P.S. Our Two For Tuesday post will be up as soon as I can type it.
