More like... my site is only available when I remember to turn my laptop 
back on. (And when my mum doesn't turn it off because the whirring of 
the fan is annoying her. Or because she's whining about how much 
electricity it uses.)

Actually, 98% of my traffic consisted of HTTP GET requests for a URL 
that's about 64 KB long... so, I'm guessing it's trying to exploit some 
sort of buffer overrun vulnerability? (Which Apache presumably doesn't 
have.)
