Aquamor 2026 Website

Mon, 04/13/2026 - 13:52

After several years Aquamor finally has a new website! When I started her in 2018 the company was called TSTWater. The website was all HTML. This was great for security and incredibly fast to load however, not very user friendly when updates needed to be made. When we merged with Aquamor I needed to update several pages manually. 

I am not sure who initially built this new version of the website. I was handed a mostly completed list of files in 2024 and was asked to finish it up and add a few features.

Hobby Projects and Ideas

On my "down-time" as a hobby I write code. I know, that's a hell of a thing, but you have to remember that I started getting paid to do my hobby. But, my hobby is still my hobby. Part of the problem I have always had with my hobby versus my professional work is that I start a project...Then I will get bored with it and move on to something else OR I will get interested in some caveat of the current project which will derail me from the current project.

Alleviating Some of the Crap Thats Slowing Down Your Server at the Source

Bad Hits in the server logs
Several months ago I started receiving the occasional alert email in the middle of the night warning that my server was hitting a threshold. Reviewing the server logs I found the usual suspects. Hits to Wordpress; admin-ajax, wp-login.php, xmlrpc.php... But also, there were a ton of hits from a web crawler that was hitting the same content over and over and over. There are plugins available to cache websites and throttle repeat content, but a hit to the CMS is still a hit and will require PHP, several image requests, file requests and more than a few hits to the database.
