server down and anti-spam

So first of all my server has been down for 2 days due to a power-outage in the nedzone datacenter. The outage lasted only a few minutes but for some reason the server didn’t like it and burned a piece of RAM and a network card.

My friend, who owns the server (I’m just on a VPS), has fixed it by now after some work last night on xen (I hate xen).

But though my blog had been down I found it very strange I didn’t get any replies on my latest blog post, so I checked my spam count and it had gone up A LOT. So I tried to post a comment as a guest myself and apparently my anti-spam plugin (wp-spamfree) was blocking EVERYTHING. So I just ditched it for a nice captcha plugin that seems to work just fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience to those who tried to reply on my post “on blogging”, please reply again if you still want to, it should work fine now (comments appear as soon as I approve them) ;)
