I've seen that Festival Too!

For 22 years, Festival Too! has been bringing free entertainment to West Norfolk, a sponsorship-driven event held on the Tuesday Market Place in King's Lynn. 2007's event saw artists such as Heather Small, from 90s group M People, taking to the stage.

Over 10,000 people attend every year enjoying various events spread over a three-week period, and this year saw an overhaul of the website, quickly thrown together with just three weeks' notice.

Following negotiations with major sponsor Adrian Flux Insurance, and Festival Too! charman Alan Taylor, RedGalaxy UK are delighted to become a Festival Too! sponsor, providing website updates and maintenance for the event. A new, sleek and up-to-date design is planned for 2008, and with it, the ability for people to interact and discuss the events with others on the web site.

You can see the 2007 site, including a video from line-up artist Birkenhed, by visiting www.festivaltoo.co.uk

Bored? Squids away!

If you're bored and looking for something to do this month, but don't fancy shelling out for the new Windows Vista (trust me it's not worth it - lots of hidden "not so extras" and it's pretty much Windows XP with a new look), why not take a look at our site on Squidoo, named Computers...Internet...yes!

Featuring all things techno on eBay, keeping you up to date on our Blog here and also the BBC News technology section is there as well. Why not take a look and let us know if you feel anything should be added!

ZoneEdit: The Response

Well, it's official. I received an email 5 minutes ago from ZoneEdit's customer support. Bit late...but never mind (the site came back on about 36 hours ago?)

Unfortunately, we experienced a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack, which caused a loss of service to these two nameservers. All our nameserves are operational but ns14.zoneedit.com. We expect it to be operational in a few hours. Your domain should be resolving now.

Well, there's confirmation that for the second month in a row, they have had some kind of attack. Who would want to attack them, I don't know. This though, might make people reconsider using their service - for the piece of mind of my customers I've already started moving!

Sorry ZoneEdit...

ZoneEdit.com: Attacked (again?)

The last couple of days have been extremely worrying for me; I woke up yesterday morning and checked my email, and was confused when I found a mahoosive total of...well, none. Upon checking redgalaxyuk.com was still working, I found that our main nameservers had gone down. What followed was a barrage of changes, frantically trying to get our web site and email working. Did any of them work? Well no, obviously.

In my efforts to try and restore some sanity, I had a look on Google to see if anyone had posted anything, and what I found wasn't very reassuring - ZoneEdit.com had been hit with a Denial Of Service Attack, exactly a month before this. You can even read about it here. Strange, eh?

Quite amazing really, as I've been using ZoneEdit's services for a good four years with no problems; I even used up my free credits and moved onto paid ones! You can bet your life I won't now...
