I'd best get back to my day job now

I have managed to apply the firewall changes, the lists of AWS IP addresses that Ian added are now actively blocked. I have seen a big drop in CPU usage and will continue to monitor this afternoon for anything unusual. A bit later, CPU is around 22% which is promising. I can see regular users logged...

Prince Charming thought it wise to avoid a sexual harassment charge this time

She did miss it, it just started as she got to Sainsbury's after walking down Windy Bank. I've retrieved her, two again of shopping and a pair of repaired shoes

Lovely, P has just set off for Colne

Found this painting in a charity shop, looks like it could be valuable. I think it's a Constable

I'm with Cathy, a Huntsman.

A bit of patching up after the bathroom extractor installation. I had to exhaust through the wall in my office as there wasn't enough room above the bathroom window lintel.

Checking in, printing boarding passes and luggage labels for our upcoming cruise
Not long to go.

I emailed abuse@amazonaws.com yesterday with a list of their server IP addresses that are spamming the site. I have been told they take these things seriously.

Might not be everyone's cup of tea but we're enjoying This Town on the BBC iPlayer. Some good music and a few sub plots. Up to episode 4 and it's developing well.

I've upgraded the mySQL database that's 'behind' the site. The monitoring is currently showing a decrease in the CPU load average, not sure if we're out of the woods yet. I will continue to monitor.

There is activity going on 'under the bonnet', Ian is researching another service that Ionos can provide to block the IP addresses. Hopefully he'll be able to provide an update on progress later on.

We're booked in at Fabellos in Foulridge on Wednesday next week
Good news is that Fabellos are now opening during the day for breakfast, coffee, cake and other nibbles. 'The Wharf' is no more it's all Italian.

It rained anyway

Give them a little nudge.

Re. builders. Text from John, they want a dry day to go on the roof, chase the leak and fit my cowl. Just a question of being patient.The damp patch in the front room has dried up a bit since I took the big picture down off that section of wall. The damp wasn't doing the picture any good. Have they...

I have just managed to get this page up to reply after 15 minutes at least delay. This included 502 bad gateway and asking for my password. Deep Joy. I shall do my best but I forecast posts will be thin on the ground this morning.... Later at 03:40. Back to normal speed..... That didn't last long a...

Good to hear you enjoyed Crow Wood and fascinating to know you are part cow

The chaos caused by a diesel spill on the M65 from Nelson to halfway up Vivary Way in Colne. We were in Boundary Mill and came out at 6pm to drive home, the traffic was very light through the centre of Colne as it was all backed up beyond Burnley.

I cooked a Bolognese based pasta bake for visiting southern friends yesterday, it went down well. Tonight we're off to The Barlick Raj, for the Sunday buffet, with 'local' friends this time.

Good stuff I presume results are fairly quick as it's part of a 'program', my annual MRI results were 8 weeks coming back.

Aye, a tracert will only go as far as security protocols allow.

Just a thought, I don't have access to my desktop machine to look, is there a proxy server between the server the site is hosted on and the big wild world? If there is, and Ionos were carrying out maintenance on that, it may be what Tripps and Stanley were impacted by while the rest of us daylight d...
