16:49 - Huge amounts of SPAM
I am getting something like 4-500 spam e-mails a day now, 95% of which are the new German-speaking worms probably. So I might accidentally delete meaingful e-mails during the cleanup (and swearing in Icelandic :) - if that happens just give me another shout.
01:24 - 9 days Downtime
On June 1 the previous hosting company again pulled the site without warning due to "excessive load" (after I had moved the site to a new server of theirs to prevent just that from happening). It took me 8 days to regain access to all the data (this is a very complex site to say the least), in part since I only wanted to re-open with the very latest data.I am incredibly sorry for this trouble, and even more so since I could not warn you or explain what was going on. This should never happen again! And trust me, I will never close the site as some of you might have thought!
In addition to the items shown here above we made some 122 additions or changes in our databases during June 2004.
