Defensio
Thursday, September 4th, 2008 · 0 comments
The website experienced some downtime yesterday. The main reason was that Defensio's server went down (hardware problem, not their fault). All posts/comments are spam-proofed with Defensio, because of that, my application crashed when trying to reach Defensio's server, more precisely the plugin used to communicate with Defensio did the crashing. It wasn't too long before their server was back up again, and I took the time to push out a few bug fixes, and play with Capistrano's deploy:web:disable.
Despite the hiccup, I'm still partial to Defensio over Akismet. They just seem... cooler. @cmercier even apologized to me over Twitter (me being one not usually noticed)! Hopefully they get the hardware issue sorted out soon, but I'm sticking with them either way.
