Whee ... 8:00 AM and working, working, working ...
Lots of attacks against the server this morning. Although the blocked IPs are broad enough that I don't see many SSH attacks any more. I am noticing a lot of attempts to abuse the SMTP service, which is annoying since they'll never succeed in using it as a relay (since relaying is only enabled on the submission port, which gets blocked along with SSH when someone shows evidence of being a douche).
It really pisses me off that there's nothing I can do about this other than block shit. I long for a world where one can actually fight back against this kind of thing.
This "Welcome to the Dungeon" game is terrible. I can't believe that people are downloading shit like this and I can't get traction with Idamu Caverns.
I really don't want to do anything today ... this wouldn't be so bad if it happened occasionally, maybe once a week. Unfortunately, I'm finding that most days I don't want to do anything or talk to anyone, and it's a fucking burden to have to force myself to do everything and force myself into every social interaction.
Man ... the idea of having an NPC give the player something is way more complicated than you'd think it should be ... what happens if the player has nowhere to put it. Much easier to just leave it on the floor, although this brings up the challenge of what if there's already crap all over the floor. Defer this for now by trying a few different floor locations, but there'll need to be better handling as time goes on.
Aarrgh ... I'm trying to help out by hooking a friend up with some work, but Facebook apparently makes everything so fucking hard, unless it's what they want you to do!
Nice ride today ... probably the last decent ride I'll get in this summer.
Well, I've got most of what needs done for basic quests. There really need to be some more items, though ... I was hoping to put it off for a bit, but there's just too few stuff at this time.
