The CANDIS Blog

OK – that time of the year again. CCPC meeting time, get ready for internet “issues”.

Seems to have been some already today…. had one major CNC outage to one of CANDIS’ data centres and it knocked out some services. Various parties claimed it was a DDOS attack – however that is the 10th one this year…this time, our monitors in Shanghai and Hong Kong also detected an anomaly separate to our Beijing links. Which are multi-homed so what gives? We all know what gives.. I was being rhetorical.

PS: If visual representation of data is a totally foriegn concept to you, look around 10:12 AM to 10:35 AM today on the RRD graph.

No wonder my page views dropped. Crikey! I was waiting for it to happen really. There are many things that I know are a bit “ahead” of China, that I know will break policies, so it is just a matter of time before mere mortals catch up with the geek crew who are on the edge.

Yup “the edge”, it means we uber geeks get all the chicks and leave no space for anyone else on ‘the edge’ – like F1 drivers or astronauts….

Anyway – special “Inside China” link added to the top right below the normal Feed Burner link.  The Feed Burner link is more featured and will still work for anyone outside of China. Also if you use Google Reader, that is not in China so can still read a Feed Burner based RSS feed. I wonder how long till that (Google Reader) is blocked too?
