Apologies to any one who is attempting to hit my FTP site today. Most notably for the Slayer download, but also most of the other links provided in this blog. My fucking power went out again last night at 12:33 am. I know the exact time because my alarm clock went off for some odd reason and I got up and noted the time. The FTP server is set up to restart itself if it is shut down however there is one flaw in my set up. I am using DHCP to provide my IP addresses with the server set to the DMZ host. Well as everyone knows when the server leases a new IP from the router it will not necessarily be the same IP that is designated as the DMZ host. I have been spoiled lately because knowing this I remember to check and 9 times out of 10 it happens to pull the same IP. Today was one of those times when I forgot to check before leaving the house and of course it pulled a different one.

2 Things in closing:
a) I am getting really sick of this power outage shit. Even if it is only a flash off and on it really fucks up all my computer shit. Since this is happening on a bi-weekly bases I think it is time to write a letter to Xcel to complain before some expensive piece of hardware of mine gets fried.

b) Fixing my IP problem is really easy enough all I have to do is tell the server to lease a static IP and set that to the DMZ host. Sometimes I don’t know why I am so fucking lazy.
