Topical Discussions, June, 2024
Having just completed the Genesis commentary, I thought I might have a few weeks of distractions as I ponder a long journey into a commentary on Isaiah. So while I do not know how long this will last, there are quite a few things I have had on my mind. Perhaps I may further develop my Genesis chronology, at least so far as to bring it down to the period of the Kingdom of David, and perhaps I might have an addendum or two for Genesis, because I have already had some afterthoughts on subjects in that area which seem to merit elaboration, and which may be further discussed. If I ever do anything with Exodus through Joshua, it would probably only be highlights illustrating certain events, or certain important aspects of the law, because I am not persuaded that anything more is necessary.
This week, Melissa and I had traveled to see some of our friends in Central Florida, and we had a great time for four days. However if anyone has been visiting the main Christogenea website, they might have noticed that earlier this week, it was often slow, or would not even load properly. This problem has actually been persisting sporadically throughout the past six months. It is being caused by rather discrete DOS (Denial of Service) attacks intended to overload the server and prevent access to the site, which have been executed in several different forms for which reason each new attack requires a different solution. The latest culprit is some sort of application on Facebook, and for the past week or so the website has been getting several tens of thousands of hits per day from Facebook servers. Upon investigation, I have found that this is a known issue with Facebook, and that unsavory app developers use Facebook apps for such nefarious purposes. Evidently, many people have complained about this, and in Meta forums it is said that Facebook will not take action in such cases (Meta is the relatively new parent company of Facebook and Instagram).
