Blog downtime. Issue now shot and killed.
Yesterday evening was a complete disaster. I’m currently residing at Austria and the internet connection I have at the moment in my flat is.. well, just not up for the task. It’s wireless and provided by one shady D-Link canister, for me and 8 other people, which makes the thing whimper and die every now and then. So you basically have to get up from your ass and do a hard reset for it, every time your internet connection dies. It’s good excercise though. For the body, not for the mind.
That itself is annoying but the actual problem yesterday was that for some reason the FTP (and every other port besides HTTP) is blocked somehow. Either that or the D-Link just collapses every time I try to upload anything bigger than 10 kB. Last evening I made some modifications to couple of files and when I started to upload them only the first 10 kB of every file were actually uploaded(!), leading to incomplete files and myriad of error messages. Tried to solve the issue till 1 AM with no luck.
So, today I spent uploading everything (upgrading the wordpress installation in the process) back to the server and now, finally, everything is again up and running. Finally.
