Xmas time is nigh upon us

Merry Christmas from the Pambulon Heights Donut Club!

The Xmas decorations finally went up at the Pambulon Heights HQ  so the Christmas Spirit® is filling the air. I mean literally, it’s getting hard to breathe in here. On second thought it might be the Pine-Sol, but either way it smells like evergreen trees and I’m catching a nice buzz from all the holiday cheer. Also, feel like I might puke.

Pambulon Heights Donut Club Internet HQ Inaccessible Yesterday

I’d like to formally apologize to my two regular readers, Googlebot and bingbot, for the internet outage that made the Pambulon Heights Donut Club HQ inaccessible for about 6 hours yesterday.

According to /var/log/nginx/access.log the last hit to the http/s server from an external IP address before the outage was:
[20/Nov/2018:12:07:41 -0600]
and the next hit was:
[20/Nov/2018:18:16:10 -0600]

According to /var/log/auth.log the last hit to sshd from an external IP address was:
Nov 20 12:09:15 REDACTED sshd[31648]: Disconnected from authenticating user root 122.xxx.xxx.164 port 47684 [preauth]
and the next hit was:
Nov 20 18:10:13 REDACTED sshd[638]: Received disconnect from 118.xxx.xxx.142 port 56936:11: [preauth]

The cause of the outage was due to a road crew severing a fiber-optic line that provides internet service to the Pambulon Heights Donut Club HQ and the greater Dakotaloaf region.

Today I’d like to spruce up the global, nay Intergalactic HQ  of the Pambulon Heights Donut Club. Order of instructions:

  1. Write this post.
  2. Procrastinate
  3. ???

 

Then at some point I’ll tidy up this desk which is housing the laptop serving this, and other websites.

EDIT: This post has been written so I’ve stricken item 1.

EDIT 2: It’s about closing time and I still haven’t gotten to this today so I’ve also stricken item 2. Pretty good! I accomplished two of the three things on my list. That makes for a pretty productive day if I say so myself.

If only I knew what the third thing was supposed to be. For all I know I might have accidentally accomplished that one too.
