Just a quick announcement: Heartland will be going down for essential maintenance in a few minutes.
It should only be down for a couple of minutes, but during that time the site will be unavailable.
The update & subsequent reboot will be to patch GHOST - a newly discovered security hole in the software running on the Heartland servers:

This is one advantage of running a bleeding-edge Arch Linux system. I'm on glibc 2.20 and have been since December. The vulnerability was apparently fixed by 2.18, released August 2013.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
