I've been very quiet and not very responsive online the last few days, and I apologise -- I spent most of last week dealing with the Heartbleed bug and getting a new server installed at work. Either of these by itself would have been a lively time. And oh, yeah, it's tax season.
I know I've been that completely and utterly exhausted before, sometime in my life, but I can't actually remember it. It was actually a very good week -- problems were resolved, the server went live with minimal bumps, our clients' data is safe -- but ZOMG, by 7 pm on Friday, I was so tired I wanted to cry.
I'll be doing a Tech Support Post on Heartbleed later today tomorrow, because Not Enough Brain today. It's an ugly thing and everybody with an online presence needs to deal with it, but it's not as bad as originally feared, and I have some solid recommendations to make it easier.
First step for everyone: CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS FOR FACEBOOK, TUMBLR, YAHOO, AND LIVEJOURNAL, NOW. Don't wait.
