LOVE the purple seats. Blown away.

This is specifically for hiring coordinators from returning coaches. For instance, Mike Pettine would have been off limits last year (assuming he had more than a 2 year contract). Jim Schwartz is different because there is a new head coach. Teams should be allowed to at least keep a coordinator for two years. That's not an oppressive position to take.

It is not unwritten. It is a rule.

Too much movement is bad for the game. Contracts should be keep these coaches in place, but allow them to leave with one year left in deal for a promotion. Sign them for min of three years and it gets rid of the one and done upheaval.

(Goose) eggs for sure.

Good stuff!

Is anyone expecting a player to say, "Ah, crap..." on Twitter today?

how the hell does a random DOS attack, where I'm just an innocent target coincide with the hiring of a new HC? I needed the solution hours before or the announcement this afternoon. FML.

ntpdate 0.us.pool.ntp.org that fixed it.

My point is that the host changed my timezone to GMT to artificially add 5 hours to the server time, so that the time would appear to be EST.

# date Sun Jan 11 11:35:38 GMT 2015 time is right. Time zone is wrong. I can't even comprehend how this got fubar'd.

This is what is messed up. I set it for New_York and it was 5 hours off. Very weird. I ask host to look into it. They say they fixed it. Now the time on the server is right but it says "GMT" which is wrong. Neither setting has affected the board time. I restarted apache and set the mysql timezone session variable and neither make a diff either.

Look, I admit I'm not a sysadmin. I struggle doing this because every "." counts when setting this **** up. However, I begged my host to just stop incoming traffic to the ip address that was coming in - all of it. They made it sound like they were doing it for me. Rinse and repeat for 2 days. I finally said that I don't want to be associated with that ip address anymore and they finally responded with "Well, it's a part of your config - you would have to change that on your server". No ****. It's what I have been asking them to do for two days. I finally did it myself and things are back to normal (which I couldn't do yesterday because I had zero access). Was this solution so hard to think of and implement? Even a dimwit like me figured it out.

Fixed the time issue on the server. I think I fixed it in MySQL, but it still is off. Not sure what I need to do to correct it.

An issue that I am having right now is that I had to separate fixes going on in parallel. The problem is that both of them work. And now they are conflicting. Some people will see the new server for a short time.

I am not ready for this.

ugh. time thing is weird.

So, the Sabrespace IP address seemed to have been under two separate attacks. One was SYN flooding and the other was the standard DoS of sending in so many requests that the server would run out of memory. Every time we rebooted the server would become unresponsive in a minute or two. Host blocked traffic to IP address for me, but had some other issue that took into the morning to resolve on their hardware. The Tank knows no boundaries.

Not sure what the difficulty was. Script execution was very high but load was low. Very odd.

ha. This was against SabreSpace, so... probably not.

There are links all over tbd and the forums here.

Boom there he is! I just kicked him off again. 9 warning points and multiple complaints about him via PM and the moderator tools.

The message board is fine, just the news portion is down.
