Apartment and Connections

Much of my last week has been spent on filming - if you haven't yet seen it, check out the Facebook page for the film here, and see the "Finding an Apartment" videos. We still have a fair amount to shoot, likely around September, but we've got a fair amount complete, and the rest planned and written. There's also a fair amount of processing to do - shots taken when walking backwards aren't exactly prime candidates for the "smoothest shot of the year" award, and masking out any wires and misplaced boom poles will take a while (more due to my lack of experience than the amount of processing required though).

I also fixed a website of mine - and started using a reverse proxy to look at traffic. One thing which surprised me is that over 90 unique threatening machines are blocked attempting to connect to the site every week. The proxy also cut response times, stopped over 14,000 requests, and saved the best part of a gigabyte of bandwidth, which is always nice. Thanks to Cloudflare for an excellent service, at an unbeatable price (free, paid service for better statistics and more control).

Pageviews are down because the domain was stuck on a landing page for over a week in transfer delays. That's one way to wreak search rankings. 

Savings are awesome.

I'd never miss a chance to show off my (quite frankly pathetic) site statistics...
