Yet another security change

by on Jul.28, 2008, under Site News

I’ve made a few security updates to my website, in an attempt to lock out the spammers and hopefully block out the expliots too that seem to be getting used to insert content

unfortunately one of the updates wants to block me out too, so thats not too helpful!

hopefully it’ll all work this time

Finally a Post

by on Apr.03, 2008, under Site News

Nothing major, but hopefully I’ve just made my post entries more readable

I’ve also upgraded to the new wordpress 2.5, if you don’t have it you should, it seems to be full of nice upgrades and supposed to make things faster

Doh, "Hacked"!

by on Jan.11, 2008, under Site News

Well its official, my website is amazing, obviously the “hackers” found my site by searching for something, and then also found a nice unpached hole in wordpress or one of its plugins and exploited that to gain access to the server, or possibly just found a hole on my hosts systems and exploited that, either way I gained some files that shouldnt have been there.

Thanks to my hosts they’ve now gone, and I cant find anything else that shouldnt be there :)

so I’ve had a clean out and an upgrade of everything upgradeable

the “” are because the “hackers were probably just script kiddies using a true hackers code to get in, and I’m totally misusing hacker too, oh well nevermind :)

Few minor updates

by on Dec.14, 2007, under Site News

I’ve finally updated a couple of my links so they now go to the right place

I think I need to look at a few of the shades of red I’ve got on here as they aren’t quite as bright as they need to be

and maybe work on a nice new header image rather than the boring text
