Yeah my download links are all busted…

Alright, after installing an SEO plugin for my WordPress site, I discovered that quite a few people have been trying to download files that no longer exist. Apparently an old plugin that acted as my downloads manager left some links laying around in several pages. I’m getting quite a few 404′s reported, so I thought I’d just take a moment to tell everybody that I’m working on that :) I’ll have new download links available soon (probably tonight). So try checking again, please.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

So I broke my wp install again…

I installed an update to both my theme and the “theme my login” plugin and ultimately broke my ability to log in via the web. So I have resorted to using WordPress for the Android to post an update. It is pretty sweet.

I had a lot more to write, but I can’t write a ton using my G1 keyboard… when I get WP fixed, I will write more, I just haven’t had the time.

Hacked Part II

Ok, as I was saying. Yeah, all of my websites were defaced because I ended up having a few trojans and a few root kits on my laptop. I ended up using that laptop one time last week to transfer files via FTP. That must have been how my passwords got out.

Anyway, an addendum to my “omgwtfh4x” list… now my Steam account got hijacked. This one happened because I clicked on a link (stupid me) sent to me by a friend on Steam. Turns out, his account was hijacked as well and it wasn’t him sending me the link.

I’m a PC and I got hacked… again.

You know, I wouldn’t mind it so much if they didn’t use viruses and stupid scripts to do it. I mean if someone actually spent hours physically sitting in front of their computer working on cracking into my internal network and grabbing files and stuff from my PC it would be a whole different story. I’d actually want to shake that person’s hand…… and then shoot them in the face. But right now, all I want to do is shoot them in face.

Back in the day (when I used to do this stuff) we didn’t have fancy little ‘viruses’ and ‘trojans’… we actually had to put effort into hacking into people’s stuff.

Grow a pair of figs and do it the way it should be done!

One of the funniest YouTube videos I've ever seen

So yeah, I need new underwear

So I’m on the computer a few hours ago doing my own thing, writing code, when I hear a loud BANG at the front door. I immediately knew what was about to happen (why I knew is a long story). I bolt over into the bedroom, grab the gun, chamber a round and stood perched at the top of the stairs. Then the second bang, the door flew open and there stood two dudes intent on entering my house. The alarm system went off, Jill (my g/f) was screaming at them at the top of her lungs. From my standpoint, I only saw from about the waist down so I didn’t have a very good description of the intruders. They never actually came into the house. Jill must have had some killer look on her face because they paused, and turned and ran.

Anyway, there’s another pre-cursor to this story, but I am chosing not to talk about it. Bottom line was nobody got hurt or killed, and my front door is a mess. It seemed random, but you can never be so sure these days. For all I know these guys had been casing this place for a while and just picked a really bad time to drop by for a visit.

Here’s the aftermath:
