So why not start over with some music?
Something nice and new - check the next post.

Duvet-Dayz: Web Site Problems
As you might have realized due to infrastructure issues at our ISP the Duvet-Dayz web site was not reachable during the last 24 hours. Thanks for popping by again and sorry for the issues.
Below the sad workload diagram of a database server bobbing along without being used and reduced to an expensive heating device.

Duvet-Dayz: Some Upgrades completed
We finally have completed the first part of our complete web site overhaul last night and can now start over again to post stories and news on interesting things.
There are still many glitches and issues e.g. with white spaces and differences between IE and Firefox or other web browsers but these will be gone once our new layout will be released within the next days. So far we have implemented the underlying “plumbing” and because of issues with some of the plug-ins we used in the past we were forced to touch every post we have written in the past two years.
Anyway we hope that the new layout and features that are now possible will compensate for the wait. We are currently also evaluating if we will make some of the new features - particularly the semantic web features in the pipeline - available as plug-ins for public use.
Many thanks for your patience and sorry for the delays. From today on we will do what we hope will let you all come back frequently to Duvet-Dayz.com - put up new stories and news.

We are currently upgrading this site and it is taking longer than expected.
New posts will be back during the second half of this week.
Sorry for the delay…but that upgrade was overdue for more that a year and we unfortunately have to do most of it manually - meaning we have to touch each of [...]

A new type of spam
Everybody who runs a web site or blog knows what I’m talking about - SPAM
To us it is a continuous phenomenon that people are clogging the web with nonsense like this.
Pharmaceuticals, enhancements of your body parts, people doing things in front of cams you name it…
But luckily there is help around and I’m sure almost anybody is using spam filters today. We for example receive an average of about 1,000 smd (spam messages per day) these days - our “record day” was beyond 10,000 - but hey it takes one click and they are gone.
But now there are some new types of messages coming around of which we would like to highlight two:
The first one (pictured below) uses a cop/paste legitimate text from documents or books to look like a normal comment. Well two things: First the text normally is not related to the post - bye-bye. Second, if you have a closer look you might realize that its just cut out from a document…
The second one is potentially more dangerous…
