Not sure what the heck I did, but sometime over the weekend, I managed to do something bad to circusgeek. This meant that anyone trying to reach the blog for the past couple days has either not been able to reach it at all, or it’s been insanely slow.
Over the weekend, I did a number of things to the server, from trying to tweak the config files, to upgrading software (including upgrading my blog software, which, in case you haven’t noticed, includes some new sidebar items, like a tag cloud view of categories, a list of recent comments, and an inline login form). All of the blog upgrades I did yesterday. Most of the meatier server changes I did on Saturday. Of course, I was at home, connected directly to the server, so it wasn’t until last night while chatting with Snooks that I discovered that things weren’t working properly.
I spent the past couple hours prodding at things, trying to figure out what was causing the slow connections to the server, only to finally try a reboot of the server. Magically, everything seems to be working normally again. I’m still not sure what was going on, the system wasn’t displaying any unusual behavior, but regardless, everything seems to be fine now (crosses fingers).

Damn thing won’t let me login! I even got a new password just now, still won’t work.
However, the page loaded faster than lightning. So that’s good 😀
huh. I went through the process just now myself. Logged out, clicked “forgot password”, got the email, clicked the link, got the 2nd email with the new password, logged in with it, and then changed my password manually.
Not sure why it’s not working for you. Perhaps you’ve got old cookies in yer browser that you need to remove?
I didn’t even have to re-login. Whatever you did seems transparent to me.
