Proving the adage that technology is actually driven by evil spirits who let it fail just when it is most inconvenient: the MySQL database that serves as the back-end to my wiki has chosen this morning – an hour before I need to give a presentation stored in the wiki – to go kaput. SQL failures have been an irksome occasional occurrence with GoDaddy hosting. Good thing I printed off a PDF version of the presentation before going to sleep.

The interwebs ate my homework?
On a similar note: an email address that I only use as a conduit between different websites is now getting spam. This means either:
(a) someone is brute force spamming email addresses
(b) someone has compromised a database of email addresses relating to one of the sites involved
The database seems to have healed. Not that it will do you much good now.
The database behind the blog itself has been a bit jumpy over the last 24 hours.
A good number of Blogger hosted sites also seem to be down (not that this is unusual):
