The server has been brought back online. Enjoy

Hard drive on server is crashing, trying to determine which one.  May have to order new drives or try to repair the bad sectors. FTP access is down until problem can be figured out.

Never thought I would need to do this, but sometimes you just have to.  This is how you can block an IP or service provider from viewing your website using .htaccess. Your .htaccess file is located at your root directory of your web hosting (server must be running Apache). If you do not have you, just create one.

.htaccess has many uses, in my case I have mine redirect any traffic to go from bluetomb.com to bluetomb.com/blog since that is where my content is.

To block an IP or service provider it is pretty easy. Simply add:

order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.0.1
deny from 192.168.0.2
deny from 192.168.0.3
deny from 127.0.0.
deny from genericISP.com
allow from all

What this will do is block IP’s 192.168.0.1-3, it also blocks any IP 127.0.0.0 -127.0.0.255, and will block any IP that genericISP.com is using. Most of the time blocking a whole range like 127.0.0.0-127.0.0.255 is a bit drastic, so use at your own risk. You may end up blocking legitimate users trying to view your site.

Thank you, Bluetomb

So I was taking a look at the end of the month stats for May. Noticed something strange, bluetomb.com (6.5 gigs) used more bandwidth then music.bluetomb.com ((5.8 gigs) which streams music). So I took a look and found something funny. With the new Will Smith movie Hancock, many people are searching google for “alcoholic superhero” which is relevant to the movie, but also leading many people to this site, and image gallery. So if you came from google looking for Hancock, sorry your in the wrong place, but please feel free to enjoy the gallery. Hope you enjoy it, and leave a message.

Thank you, Bluetomb
