Interesting few days. Learnt a hell of a lot of stuff as will be seen from PHPSurgery which was not restored last year as the domain had lapsted. It's back now and will be the home for anything PHP wise as the welsome page points out. On the side of this a lot more files have had little tweeks to address a large volume of traffic in the log files. php-fpm.log was growing at 1Gb a day at one point and was too big to even look at with kate. It's not helped that even though I've not ADVERTISED sites like PHPSurgery already there is a lot of traffic from morrons trying to find holes that might be present if I used the crap that they are looking for. A lot of the wordpress hack list is redirected already, but this still leaves a substantial number of rogue lookups. Something I think I may get around to including in the 'hacks' list if it keeps up. That and the phpgedview site is being hit by a lot of bot traffic using the calendar view of the data. Another area that is irritating when that SHOULD be blocked by robots.txt.

Anyway now I need to get back to the bugs list and in particular a couple of the basic wiki bugs that are becoming irritating ... after my daily exercise.
