Wannafind i nyhederne

11 May

computerworld.dk har netop skrevet en artikel omkring det DDoS angreb vi oplevede på vores serverpark i dag.

Deres lille artikel er dog rimelig nedsk̴ret Рdet var ikke specielt sjovt at st̴ alene i et koldt serverrum kl. 4 om natten mens man venter p̴ at TDC ringer.

Først sagde TDC at nedbrudet intet havde med Wannafind at gøre – sÃ¥ viser det sig bagefter at det netop var pga. os at deres IP router brød sammen. Imponerende at et sÃ¥dan angreb kan lægge TDC’s knudepunkt ned og fortsætte med at angribe vores web-server i 16 timer uden afbrydelse.

Da jeg fejlmeldte linien kl 23:30 sagde jeg til TDC supporteren at det muligvis var et DDoS angreb – hvilket blev mødt med et “Hvad er et DDoS angreb” og et “Vi ringer inden for 3 timer” – heldigvis ringede de 10 min efter og jeg fik senere fat pÃ¥ en IP-teknikker, Thank God

I suck…

01 May

I know, I’m like the rest of the people who get a blog and then after a few months looses interest (or maybe I’m the only one?). Anyway, I’ve been busy, honestly I have – Unfortunally I can’t tell you why :).

So tonight I was just good ol’ bored and decided to search for “Tom Sommer” on Google. Of course it was easy to find the usual embarrassing entries in old guestbooks (back when it was called guestbooks) and the endless NNTP news posts in google groups where I scream like a little baby because someone stole my design (happens a lot actually). So after I found out that Google actually has this little area where you can log in an delete your news posts, I decided to do a little spring cleaning (or damage control)

Of course there are also those who just have way to much time on their hands to point out every little spelling error, you might want to check tsn.dk or dreamcoder.dk, I’m sure there’s enough mistakes to keep you busy for hours. Have fun.

Strangely enough this blog is ranked extremely high on Google, try a simple search for “Olson twins“, “wannafind” or “Thunderbird installer“, (I was once the proud number one of “Return of the king Trailer” and “MSN 6″ of course this usually resultedin what I now call “The MSN syndrome“, or maybe “The google effect”
