Jawa Report Back Up

Filed under: Technology by Chad at 1:06 pm CDT

So often I am wrong and too often I hate admitting the error of my ways.Â This post serves as a way to do that.

Commenter Jimmy the Dhimmi asked what happend to The Jawa Report.Â I had been told the only issue with the site being down was that it was just switching servers.Â Apparently that was partially wrong because the site also was taken down by Turkish hackers before switching servers.

Nonetheless, The Jawa Report is back up and operational and I must admit that I was wrong to say the site was just down because it was switching servers.

Actually, the main reason it was down so long was because of the server switch - the new server was delayed for nine days, and then when it arrived it was set up wrong and took two days to fix.

But the reason for switching servers in the first place was because it kept getting hit by a denial of service attack launched by the aforementioned Turkish hackers. (Or Turkish hacker wannabes, more like, since they didn’t break in, just made a nuisance of themselves.)

Anyway, back now, on a server of its own.
