Apologies to my dear reader for the unexpected dropping off the worldwidewibble of this site. The lack of updates was because I got crazy busy with this and that and also ended up in blighty for a while with limited Internet access. In the mean time my host did a mini booboo with the DNS records for which I/he apologize but which allowed you to learn about a wonderful company called ThreatSTOP. Fortunately there wasn't much changed so regular readers didn't miss anything.
