For some months we were having an intermittent access issue, which seemed to be tied to too many spam comments in another blog on our server. We installed Akismet there, and all seemed much better. Then it seems someone started pounding the server with track-back spam.
It’s not clear when the site will be stable, as neither Christine or I have a great amount of time to track down these issues. (Although it’s very tempting as a procrastination method.) The past few days seem like an almost complete outage, so we’ve restarted the server.
I know i haven’t done several months of Creek-In-The-News posts, as well as posting on other topics as they come to mind.
Hopefully, the technological barrier of the Denial of Service will drop, but i fear we’ve just worked around it again.
