Short Planet Outage
In what is just another in a long line of things that have been sent to test me over the last couple of weeks, today one of my sites got hit by a group of machines trying to do not nice things. The result? A load of 56 and a very slow machine. I stopped apache for a while, put some "measures" in place and we're back up running.

I've never bothered to make blosxom cache or anything to keep the load low, not having that much traffic always achieved the same goal, but I'll try and pencil some time in to take a look. Learn from your mistakes and all that.
