Maintenance

As you may have noticed, I had to take down the site for some maintenance today. Nothing serious, just the regular security updates and adding some enhancements (?).

Having been assaulted by hackers (or rather, script kiddies) innumerable times has made me very aware of the need of good housekeeping. The main engine of this website (Joomla) is now always updated to the latest version, including all the add-on components. Same thing with the forum (phpbb) which is always kept in vanilla state (no mods).

The major part of this website is either created or modified by me, which means that I usually know the nuts and bolts of the code and can close any security holes that inevitably turn up. However, the fully secure website lives in the same world as the free lunch and the easter bunny, and I don't believe in any of them. Well, maybe the easter bunny.

So, if you experience something odd while browsing this website, please report it to me immediately. If you want to know more about the general security policies regarding this website, please read the Privacy Policy.
