DOS attack
By Nick Hodge | March 15, 2003
After over a week, the site is back. Last October, the period of downtime was due to DNS configuration issues. This time, its a collection of cascading problems: all to do with the hosting provider's data centre turned off my server due to a Denial of Service attack. In fact, look at the logs the downtime was exactly 10 days - to the hour and minute.
I do keep backups, and these were restored on Saturday 15th March. If I had time earlier in the week, this would have been completed sooner. But it was just one of those things that happens in the IT industry. Having a contigency plan is highly important.
In the interim, I've been to Adelaide and Perth (hi Cari!), purchased a new mobile phone (Nokia 6310i: Bluetooth and GPRS) and had a typical Adobe crunch-week. Lots going on, brain going at a million miles an hour.
The "idea" with Bluetooth and GPRS is to get faster wireless internet access from anywhere. Including the back of a taxi. I calculated that in recent weeks I have spent over 8 hours in taxis -- perfect time to get online and grab/respond to a couple more emails. Is this the first signs of addiction?
