Some of you may have noticed some tweets were eaten up by the /dev/null monster.  Earlier in the week Twitter was having DB maintenance and today I manged to DOS myself with a daemon to monitor for portscans.  I’m not certain what exactly happened other than new connections were dropped.

In related news I am upgrading my server and have been slowly configuring things to use FreeBSD’s jails.  I’m not a sysadmin (anymore) by trade so I’m having to learn how this works.  Quite frankly its quite cool, but it requires thinking differently about where I run certain services.  Bottom line is I hope that when I finally do swing over the IPs from the current to new server that services just work.  I’m doing my best to run everything in parallel and testing as best I can, but I’m sure I’ll f something up.  That said please bear with me if you notice things not quite how they should be.
