Hello world, again.

It has been over 10 years since last time I wrote a blog post here. This “project” will be more about having a place to dump my thoughts, and reflections on whatever is going on in the tech world. And whatever fun project I work on. Hopefully someone might find some of it useful, but there is a large chance that just AI bots will be the largest crowd for these posts rather than actual humans.

It was during watching the tv-news I heard that the gaming services were down in association with the online release of The Interview. At first I thought it was North Korea that were ddossing the services, but after some research it turned out it was Lizard Squad that were having some fun. I was rather surprised when I opened the Xbox Live status website to see a huge stack-trace which also reviled a central website which the Xbox website gathered data from. First of all, I would have expected Microsoft to know better than allowing stack traces to be shown on their website. Secondly, I would have thought that the ddos attack were affecting the entire Azure cloud, as Xbox Live is hosted inside the Azure Cloud and that cloud applications are normally well filtered from these types of attacks, but no.
