System is Down

VSU email and web are down. I’ve been out of the office so I can only surmise that this is related to the Denial of Service attack on Wednesday evening. Very strange that there was a test attack around 3pm and then consistent bombardment starting at almost exactly 5:30 pm. Like the person knew that most of the staff leave then.

Was out cause I was sick. Extreme congestion, almost violent coughing, and agonizing headaches. Thankfully, I got meds Thursday and saw a doc.

It does concern me that docs so liberally dole out antibiotics. Don’t think that superbacteria are very far away now.

I had hoped to get a list of my movies off my VSU home page, but that is in limbo right now. Thought I saw Ike’s car. Maybe he could let me into the office?


Sorry about the picture not loading on the left. That is due to the email and web problem at VSU. That is also why my home page is down. Perhaps I should migrate all of this stuff to helios (my Solaris box)? An independent web server where I have control of the outages?


How about 3D Pong?
