GoGrid Denial of Service

Got this in my inbox this morning:

Hello Roger,

On Friday, March 27 at 11:10 AM PDT, and again today Monday, March 30 at 12:25 PM PDT, GoGrid suffered a series of large scale distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that affected the network connectivity of many GoGrid servers.

These network attacks were of a type that we had not seen before, and which our automated network attack prevention hardware was unfortunately unable to prevent.

We estimate that up to 25% of GoGrid customers had servers that were either unreachable or had degraded network performance and packet loss during significant parts of both of these attacks, and at times as much as half of you were affected more briefly. We know that many of you rely on GoGrid to run your critical Internet infrastructure, and apologize for the impacts to your business that these attacks may have caused.

CURRENT STATUS

The situation has now been stabilized as of 4 pm PDT, and the network performance of most GoGrid servers should be normal. If you were affected and opened a case during the attack, you should receive a more detailed RFO from our support staff or your Service Team. If you are still seeing any issues with your servers, please open a case at http://my.gogrid.com or call at the numbers below.

How to remove @replies from your Twitter feed

Ever wanted to filter the replies from your Twitter RSS feed? Easy with help of Yahoo Pipes and mat.su.

Below is a snapshot of my Twitter RSS feed. The first item in the feed is a @reply. I want a RSS feed without my @replies.



This is how to do it:

1. Go to the filtering pipe.
2. Enter your username and click "Run Pipe".
3. Click on "Get as RSS" and you are done. Now you got a new RSS feed, where your @replies has been filtered.
   

Here's a snapshot of my new RSS feed. As you can see, the @replies has been removed:
