Sorry about the lack of postings

Sorry about the lack of action here lately on the exaflop.org blogs. Starting a new job (in another town and thus not having access to my own PC), a death in the family and the extreme heat has conspired to keep my off here. Should be getting back to normal soon-ish tho.

Comments re-enabled. Expect some more posts soon

04 May 2006 - 18:21

The Pivot team have released a new version of Pivot (the blogging software the powers this site). After virtually every Pivot user saw a massive influx of comment and trackback spam, they've rolled the spam protection features that were previously add-ons into the main package. I don't know how well it will work but we'll soon see as I've re-enabled comments and trackbacks for all the blogs on exaflop.org.

As a consequence of the spam-protection measures, commenters will need to have Javascript enabled on their browsers in order to leave comments. If you don't know what this means, you're probably OK - Javascript is enabled by default on most computers. 

Also, put off by the spam situation and also distracted by a 'heavy to industrial-strength' World of Warcraft addiction, I haven't posted for a while. Don't worry, I still have plenty to say! Expect more posts soon, meanwhile please accept my thanks for reading this site if you are subscribed to my RSS feed and haven't given up by now :)

Comments disabled

I've temporarilly disabled comments on this blog (and in a really hacky way) due to a flood of comment spam. I'll open them up again when I've put measures in place. In the meantime, if you need to make a comment, email me using the link at the bottom of this post and I'll add the comments manually.

Brief weekend outage due to Apache and H-Sphere

06 February 2006 - 19:46

Exaflop.org became unavailable on Sunday night until early Monday morning. Sunday is usually the best time of the week to have your website unavailable, but this past Sunday was extra good timing what with the Superbowl. The website was unavailable because I had to change it's IP address and the DNS update takes time to propogate. Read on for the reasons why. (more)
