What a way to start Sunday off… receiving an email with subject Notification of problem domains…

Upon investigation, I found out that the traffic limit on one of my domains had been heavily exceeded. Looking at the access logs revealed that a single IP address was responsible as for the past two days, the same mix has been pulled over and over again…

So what else than blocking this IP from accessing the site? The downside is that this IP appears to be a (caching) proxy of a internet provider, so potentially more than just the responsible user is now blocked.

But until the internet provider reaches back and explains what happened, the block will stay in place.

I’m sorry for the delay in the promised Short Reviews Volume 7. But yesterday I felt my PC is way to slow so I ordered some new equipment… ok, its not needed for daily work, but when editing my High Definition satellite TV recordings the power is definitely needed (I’m not the most patient guy…).

Guess what, I couldn’t wait in setting things up, which took (and still takes) some time as I have to reinstall Windows XP (no, I’m not going for Vista).

Ok back to work now… it will be a short night as I want to set things back up…

Oh my… we are kind of behind with reviewing some albums we’ve got in the past few weeks:

• Steven Stone "Entering my world" (Pino Music Records Mixed Album)
• Simon Starr "Blue lights to Saturn" (Simon Starr Music Records CD)

I try to write the reviews this week. And there might also be some interviews in the near future, as well as the promised Fresh Grooves Classics Volume 17.
