FLOSS In Church

So, the site went down for part of Saturday and all of Sunday. now I am trying to figure out if I need to block a particular search indexing robot. Some unidentified robot actually passed up Yahoo!’s Slurp as the biggest bandwidth hog.

I’ll have to see if this is going to be a continuing problem. If so, I will need to allocate more bandwidth to this site.

I am thinking about blaming Cuil. Fortunately, I won’t be missing much traffic if I block them.

Some Unknown robot (identified by ‘bot/’ or ‘bot-’)  got a hold of the osministry.com site and has been sucking our bandwidth dry.

I wasn’t prepared for the extra 5GB that has been used this month, but I am hoping we stretch it out until Monday before running out of bandwidth allocated here.

I just wanted to make sure you all knew that I was checking into it and were not surprised if it happened. If it gets tight I may be able to reallocate some shared bandwidth, but I hope I don’t have to.
