A couple of flapping services have resulted in a flood of spam from the monitoring system so I spent a few hours this morning trying to make sure that it doesn't happen again.

A well-timed e-mail to the editors of Linux User magazine, which I write for occasionally, means that they'll be a 2-3 page article on Jtrix in a forthcoming Web Services orientated issue. Thanks.

A quiet weekend, mostly DIY. I cleaned out the shed in order to put a layer of plastic down on the floor. There was an impressive amount of biological detritus on the floor, the oddest being 20-30 snail shells of various sizes. We then carted a load of stuff into the shed which freed up space in the back bedroom, which mean I could buy a clothes rail, which meant we could unpack a few more boxes, which meant the boxes could be thrown away, which freed up more space.... :)

Getting there.
