                                  Decisions

The peristant attack [1] is now affecting the network where the server is
located so two decisions were made: one, to shut down the site being
attacked, and two, reinstall the two servers [2] back in Miami and have the
attacked site being served from there. I had intended to get as much
installed and configured before installing the machines back in Miami, but
the attack has moved the timetable up a bit.

Good thing I had everything I needed installed and had configured the IP
(Internet Protocol) addresses for the machines (and temporarily set up
networking for said IP addresses on my home network).

This does mean that I'll have to get up early tomorrow (ick) and that I'll be
missing The Return of the King [3] (as Spring [4] and The Kids are planning
on seeing it tomorrow).

On the plus side, these will be billable hours.
