cuchunk cuchunk cuchunk

"Dude, what’s the deal with your server?”

That was the question I was asked today.

My response… “I don’t know… I’ll check it at lunch.”

When I got home, that the noise that I heard was “cuchunk cuchunk cuchunk”.

I *think* I have everything backed up as of 12/12/07… three months ago…

sigh..

So, we are back to just before Christmas....

If you find something missing that you think was there before this date… let me know as I probably have it, but haven’t restored it yet.

There were a number of databases that I didn’t restore.  I got the ones that I thought were active.

I restored homes and /etc/passwd type files…

my apologies....

Researchers: Moose Gas Hurting Environment
Wednesday, August 22, 2007

Researchers in Norway claim a grown moose can produce 2,100 kilos of methane a year, equivalent to the amount of CO2 caused by an 8,077-mile car trip, der Spiegel reported.

Norway’s national animal releases methane through burping and flatulence, as do cows, considered more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide.

There are estimated to be more than 100,000 moose in Norway.

Banned IP’s, Comment Spamming, etc.

One of the things I like about this software is its ability to throttle things that would be hurtful to the site - such as too many searches too quickly, too many comments, etc.  This really helps with bots trying to do things like send people to paxil or viagra sites.  The other thing that helps is that I can capture an IP, find all comments from that IP and delete them all.  I then of course Ban the IP from the site.  Well, I don’t actually ban them… I send them to another site.

http://www.friends-partners.org/oldfriends/literature/war_peace.html - all 3,217,711 bytes of pure text.  Everyone needs to read it!

Moral of the story… don’t spam me.  Don’t comment spam me.  Don’t search spam me.  Don’t in any other way spam me.

Oh, and also, if you try to do the “referrer” thing, which I don’t even have installed… apache takes care of that for me…

Redirect /index.php/weblog/referrers/ http://www.friends-partners.org/oldfriends/literature/war_peace.html

Which, the last time I checked was redirecting about 3 a second.
