Aug. 20, 2011 -- DNS Problem

Looks like it's not just The Jawa Report and Ace of Spades HQ, but all of mu.nu. It's some kind of DNS error.

We'll be back when we can.

Fidel Castro is dead again

Well, since no one is using this blog for anything else nowadays, might as well pimp something for posterity:

Fidel Castro is dead. What, Castro dead you say? No, but when Fidel Castro dies now you'll know where to look.

Moo-noo go booom booom

What up with mu.nu?

Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Kei has crashed again.

Yuri is still getting DoSed.

Waiting on a reboot of Kei now.

AAARGH!!!

Yuri is getting hit by a denial-of-service attack.

Kei seems to have suffered a disk failure. We will be rebooting, and we'll see how that goes.

What fun.

Yuri Down - DOS Attack?

One of our servers has been taken out by what looks like a denial-of-service attack. We are investigating the cause and will do whatever we can to bring it back on line.

Network Maintenance

Sorry everyone. Our hosting provider is doing some urgent maintenance on their network, and it's taking a little bit longer than expected. Munu should be back very soon.

Network Problems

There seem to be some major routing issues with parts of the internet at the moment, and they may be preventing you from reaching mu.nu. I can't currently reach either mu.nu or the hosting company (DedicatedNOW), but the indications are that the problems are occuring long before the traffic reaches DedicatedNOW's network. In fact, the packets are travelling from Australia to America, coming back again, and then disappearing entirely.

I'm hoping this will be fixed soon.

Oh, and WebHostingTalk, the site I usually turn to for information in such circumstances, is down right now for a software upgrade. Yay.

Update: Now traffic headed for mu.nu isn't even leaving Australia.

Update: Coming back online now. Telstra have re-routed their link through Chicago. Exetel still seem to be working on it. Chilli are going via LA and New York. Can't check iiNet right now. If you still can't reach the server, it means that your ISP hasn't found a way around the problem yet.

Mu.nu is currently shut down to move to the new servers. While we are shut down, you will not be able to post or comment on any of the mu.nu sites.

Do not panic!

Make sure you have the following supplies at hand:

12 sheets of 1/4 inch plywood, at least 3' by 4'
6 gallons of water
At least one dozen batteries in each of the common sizes
String
Sticky tape
Wire
Tinned food such as beans; at least three tins per person per day

Use the sticky tape and string to construct a cubby house (or "fort") out of the plywood. The tins of beans can be used to defend your fort. Either throw them at people who approach, or, in close combat, ding them on the head.

For entertainment you can try touching the batteries to your tongue. Wire them in sequence and parallel and see what difference it makes!

For extra value, spill the water on the carpet and blame it on the dog.

Not Drowning, Moving!

Hi everyone. mu.nu isn't down, it's moving to a new location. We will be back in a few hours, bigger and more annoying than ever before.

So take a break and break open a frosty can of Duff Beer. Beer. It's good for you.

Duff Beer is a product of MuNu Global Manufacturing and World Domination, Inc. Beer is not good for you. At least, our beer isn't.
