Hi all
Quick update from me - you may or may not have noticed the site going down (for very short periods - minutes) a number of times over the last 24-48 hours.
After some investigation we discovered a spike in connections from multiple IP addresses on certain pages of the site which looks like bot attacks similar to what we saw a few months ago with hackers and spammers. Because of the security issues we put in place, this has essentially caused the site to shut down for a couple of minutes each time rather than allow the bots access.
Hoping it settles down but as its been frustrating for me, I figure it would have been frustrating for you all too so just wanted to give you the update as it came to hand.
Cheers
Nick

"Sate" originates in Malaysia and Indonesia, best bought from street vendors who carry small charcoal burners plus ingredients - grilled while you wait, on bamboo skewers, with a choice of pork, chicken, lamb, goat or beef and served with spicy peanut sauce, bloody delicious!!
In Singapore for many years there was a sate market near the waterfront with dozens of vendors, one of who was actually awarded a coveted Michelin Star!
