Unexpected downtime
Amazon EC2 (our hosting provider) is having some problems at the moment and we’re working with them to resolve the issues.
We will post frequent updates on Twitter at http://twitter.com/defensio_status
Thanks for your patience.
EDIT: We are now BACK. Details about what happen will come soon. Thanks for your patience.

What’s the Tumblr for when Twitter is down ?

I really hope you get this fixed quickly, I’ve had to go through 50 pages of spam today.

The last update on Twitter was 4 hours ago. Any other updates? This is a killer.

I’m glad you are back up - interesting to note that I use pixelpost 1.71 and whie you were down - it dragged the response time on by photoblog and admin side to a screaming crawl.

Scot: Ironically, Twitter was down for us so we couldn’t update there. Nevertheless, there was not much to update you with, we were just putting the final touch. Thanks for your patience.

Arne: Indeed, Dennis (the author of the plugin) found a bug; expect a fix from him soon. Thanks for your patience.

Arne: like Carl said I’ve found a bug in my code. I’ve provided a fix for it on the forum but look for a patch coming soon. (provided Carl answers my mail
)

So glad…
I switched back to Akismet for a while, but since I don’t want any false positive let slip trough, and Akismet shows the spam chronologically, I had to look over a thousand spam comments today. I must say, I know now what spam is about…

You really need to do a post-mortem for us.

are you guys down again? Everything hitting my system is indicating not checked by defensio and hitting the try again butt has no effect?
By Arne on Jun 9, 2008
I’m not sure whether it’s just me or does anyone else experiencing the same problem like me today? because i keep getting message “There was an error connecting to Defensio. Please try again later.” and it has been like this for several hours or so (IIRC)
