Another post about Lee's poor, old wiki. After it was cleaned by the WikiMinion for a couple of weeks, the infamous UseMod bug showed up again and the wiki couldn't be edited anymore. So it was quiet there recently. Very quiet.
But when I checked today to see whether it was still quiet, I was greeted by as MSIS 404 error message. As if that wasn't strange enough, the message was in Chinese.
While a whois query for piclab.com still points to Lee, all http requests to www.piclab.com are now answered by 211.157.105.121. And a whois query on this address returns another owner: CHINACOM, china communications system co.,ltd. internet services.
I'm stumped and have no idea of what might be going on there.
