Sorry for the Downtime
Had some sort of attack running all weekend against one of my more minor web sites. Hostgator found the attack and changed our security rules, and for now we should be fine. Sort of violating the security through obscurity rule of thumb since this was a very obscure site they were attacking.

Security through obscurity gets a bad rap. Obscurity is a useful security tool. After all, a sys admin password is a form of obscurity.
