Memorial Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

In retrospect, there’s another reason I’m very glad we took our trip when we did a few weeks ago. Having just been to Arlington, and the WWII Memorial, Antietam and Gettysburg, etc. it’s much easier for me to come into today with the proper level of remembrance.

Remember the Sacrifices

It’s certainly nice to have a three day weekend, and I’m glad the unofficial start to the Summer season is upon us, but this day is about more than that. Amid your celebrations today, take a moment to remember those who have made it possible and say thank you to those who are still with us.

    Botnet Effects

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Sorry for the downtime yesterday, and for not being able to explain it until now. It appears that there is a pretty significant botnet attack being directed against WordPress sites, and all of the brute force login attempts were making sites unresponsive. In order to get the sites back online my host blocked access to…
