looks like a new milestone for the Negimaki server, finally reaching 12 months (365 days) of server uptime (without being rebooted). Among other things, new releases & security patches have to implemented from time to time, so please do understand that it doesn’t necessarily imply “no interruption” of services. 
we’ll be auditing user-installed WordPress plugins over the weekend and intend to upgrade Spam Karma, Akismet and Bad Behavior to the latest releases compatible with the version of WordPress installed. the same goes for the plugin file “wp-db-backup.php” which comes with the default WordPress installation.
according to http://wordpress.org/development/2007/02/new-releases/ — the latest 2.1.1 and 2.0.9 releases of WordPress are to address a set of security fixes.
we’ll start upgrading Negimaki sites tonight and should complete the task on or before the weekend.
if you’ve been having issues validating your Akismet API Key for the past 2 weeks - it should start working again today. It turned out we blacklisted an entire-ip range belonging to LayeredTech where the Akismet service is currently hosted - the oversight was mainly due to rampant referer/comment spam and random AWstats/phpBB/dns/sshd exploit scanning coming from a wide range of ips coming from LayeredTech hosted servers.
We’d like to thank Teruhiko (http://teru.negimaki.com/) for notifying us of the issue.
looks like we got bitten by more routing issues at Abovenet, our backbone. sorry for the interruption of service.
