Server Slow

To those of you who experienced extreme slowness of my server or even unavailability, my apologies.
Today a prolonged spam attack originating from China overloaded my system with massive numbers of trackback pings.
I have now cleaned hundreds and hundreds of trackback spam and business has returned to normal it seems after updating my blacklist.

Must have been early birthday greeting ;)
Here's another.

Happy Birthday, assuming Hans' comment is well informed.

I have found the MT SpamLookup plug in a godsend in fending off Trackback Spam. It doesn't deal with the server load but it saves me a lot of time cleaning up.

... oh but you probably need to upgrade to 3.16 first... I also recommend it!

Likewise on the birthday best wishes if true(!)
