Course Launch & Discount Codes (Updated)

Added 2024-03-18 10:15:54 +0000 UTC

The course is ready to go, but a couple of notes. If you are in a rush and want to jump on the course right away, send me a message here or at dso@artofdrink.com for your Patreon discount code. I will be sending them out to active users this week, but there are a lot of codes to generate, so if you are chomping at the bit, I'll get those out first.

Flavour & Beverage Development

This morning, there was a DDOS attack on the server, where someone specifically sent tens of thousands of requests to knock it down. It did work for a bit, but it looks like things are functional again. It might be a bit slower today because I've increased the security features to try to prevent this from happening again. But, you might want to delay signing up until later today or tomorrow, just in case this continues. There is nothing like starting your day with a fresh cup of coffee and someones animosity pointed at your server.

I'll be watching this today, and if you are experiencing problems, do know I'll have my eye on it today.

Update (9:33 AM): At 6:00am eastern time the DDOS attack was 140,000 requests in size and by 9:00am it reached 494,000 requests. But the site is still running, though it will be annoying security checks for a bit.

I'm impressed, somebody paid money to do this. But, it looks like it is clearing and coupon codes will be going out. They are generated on the site, so it was making things clunky.

If you have questions, let me know.
