Downtime and Hackers!
A combination of a 6 hour power cut and me being away-from-home for the night [Saw The Indelicates, The Space Peacocks, The Scopes and Second Son at The Command House in Chatham... veeeeeery good 
] meant I ended up with over 24hours of downtime on the saps2.mine.nu server yesterday. Opps.
Then, I happen to check one of the sites we host on our saph paid-for server and it appears to not be working. Ahhh! A look at the html source and somehow an iframe has ended up in there, and appears to be redirecting to an IE exploit. It seems to have happened by editing the poll title text to < iframe.... etc which means they've either bypassed the security measures in the CMS (which doesn't seem to be suggested by the logs) or hacked the database (but why not trash it, or alter other sites hosted on the same database?). *Sigh*. Still, all fixed, patched and re-passworded now.
Battle of the Bands 2006
What A Night!
Weeks of preperation (and lack thereof) came to climax on Friday March 3rd for the Rainham Mark Battle Of The Bands 2006.
After numerous disasters during the day (amps dying, mixer dying, emergency trips to maplins etc) we botched the sound system together in a way that it vageuly worked, crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.
OK so the sound wasn't perfect, (everything was routed through a lesser amp, with the main one seemingley dead) but it was still a superb evening.
The Long Weekend were amazing, even if they did trash our nice stage layout 
And with numerous bands from the medway Towns playing the quality of music from some of the groups was overwhelming. Of course I should mention The Space Peacocks who won the evening, as judged by our panel of experts including KMFM; but also The Scopes, Old No. Eight, Something Like Serenity... and how can I forget The Unknown, bless their little cotton socks. (As well as many other fantastic groups... I won't mention them all.)
All in all a brilliant evening, and over a hundred pounds was rasied for charity. The soundtrack and DVD will be released shortly, we've just got to sort out copyright issues with The Long Weekend, since they went and got themselves signed!
