Last year was a pretty big year for me in a sense that I found out that I will be a father soon. Granted there was some other things, but this definitely takes the cake. Other than that, I have a had a few interesting moments.

Just recently someone cracked into this server and accessed the www portion of this site and added a few directories. Nothing major, just a few scripts, and a other things. The DB was never accessed and the user was walled in. I have already reported them a few days ago to the authorities and thats being taken care of as we speak. Now why didn’t I say hacked? Cause quite honestly, I don’t consider using a automated system that does a brute force/directory attack a hack. That will change soon enough though and oh, the user account has been changed…so good luck next time 🙂

Another thin that happened is one of my HD finally kicked the bucket and thats why I am in linux right now getting everything from the drive. Why linux? Well for one, I know how to use it pretty well for data recovery, and two, its not freezing every 2 seconds trying to page/access the files. I have another HD from WD on the way to replace it, but I need to implement another solution cause I see another HD’s SMART values are starting to go down which mean drive failure soon 🙁 I had a 20MB hard drive last me like 10 years, but yet I can’t get any new HD to last a few years.

One more thing, I have to fix the site in regards to the pictures not being displayed. Sorry for that and that should be fixed soon 🙂
