Ryan, with his pocket tool kit, was able to straighten some nails and cause the heel to be more-or-less attached again. But some serious epoxy work is needed to make it good again.

I saw a Ubuntu package update mentioning something about a ssh key blacklist and decided to investigate. I'm glad this issue is fixed, but am growing increasingly concerned about ssh brute forcing. Maybe it is time to go to pre-shard keys only for SSH access on silverfir? Another alternative would be some form of increasing delay script when an ip fails an authentication attempt? I've also heard about an increasing number of SQL injection attacks. It probably makes sense to look into the mysql configuration at some point. I'm pretty busy atm, but would you want to jointly tackle this after that whole graduation thing? I heard about this at about the same time you posted.

It's something like this. "We've made it to the top. No other company is better than us. And when you're at the top, there's only one way to go. And what way is that?" "Down?" "NO. WHO SAID THAT? ... The correct answer is UP. We go UP." There’s a quote from a movie that’s very applicable, but I can’t find the original, and I can’t remember what it’s from. It’s something like this.
