Breaking some rules
Normally I make an extra effort not to post anything work related here. That gets a bit confusing as much of my work revolves around the stuff I'm interested in (i.e. software development, security, reliability, and employee motivation). The almost disappearance of my blog has been largely due to an edict from on high recently made that can be summed up as "no personal blogs". Since I've maintained this well before working for them, I feel I've got some wiggle room. In the wake of a massive re-org that has been on the verge of announcement for weeks now, it turns out that freedom may not be so explicit. They do of course encourage employees to maintain an internal only blog, which is kind of an interesting thought... in an incestual kind of way.
On top of that, my hosting provider has informed me that my IP has been under a rather consistent DoS attack now. Having been forced to provide some reason for it, I couldn't because frankly I hadn't known about it. Still don't know why it happened. Anyhow, end result was an IP switch and hopefully some more stable service not DoSed. If anyone has any idea why this happened, or how to track it back further, I'm game for hearing your ideas.
