Well, this site is back behind Cloudflare and unlike in the past where I couldn’t figure it out, I was able to this time around and damn am I impressed.
Site performance is nothing short of amazing. Page load times are beyond fast once they’re cached in the Cloudflare cloud.
Apparently, the server my site is hosted on was the target of a DDoS attack and so my site was offline for nearly two hours yesterday (Sunday) morning. Oops. And my server had another DDoS attack the other day. I wonder why my server is being targeted. And it happened again today.

Read More Microsoft? How did you think that Windows 11 was ready for release?Yes, I’m going to go there so hang out… it’s going to be a wild ride. First of all, I am, in fact, a traditional computer user. I’ve been using computers since the early days of computers. We’re talking back when Windows 3.1(11111) for Workgroups was the cat’s nuts.

Read More Chapters 5 and 6…I can finally say that I have had a shot of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Well, here’s my critique. It’s good. I’m not denying that it’s good.
