Default Unplanned upgrade.

In the event anyone notices or has noticed anything weird, it was due to an unplanned server software upgrade. While attempting to upgrade a single program (the image generator) I mistakenly upgraded every program including the OS kernel. Up to now I have only been doing security updates as major software upgrades can lead to unpredictable results if not layered properly.

For about 4 hours I had to turn off registration (as spammers would have hit us every 10 min) and for about 8 hours my gaming site was down. Hopefully I have mopped everything up but if you see anything odd mention it here or shoot me a PM. Thanks in advance.
