The virus is gone

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Well, I was infected with a virus that was downloading a trojan to anyone that visited my site. It appears to have been an embedded IFrame attack.  My web provider was able to quickly fix the issue.  The weird thing is, I spotted said virus in my index page and ...

Welcome to the new (generic) look.

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

I've installed WordPress.  Apparently my copy of MT has been compromised. We'll see if this improves things. I've imported all the old MT blog posts though, so the site still goes back to May 2003 at least.  As for the older stuff - meh. I can't be bothered.  Interestingly, I ...

Sometimes Less Is More

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Well, I have stripped out almost all of the old style from my pages. The idea for right now was to arrive at a page design that more or less works as a blank slate. Hence the white background and black text. But now that I look at ...

Website Roadblocks

Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006

Here's the thing. Back in October or so I ran across Last.fm. At the time I didn't feel much like installing the necessary plug-in, so I left the site. Last month I came back to it and installed the audioscrobbler plug-in. As soon as I saw my music popping ...

Yawn

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

I have to admit that I have not been too "into" getting this redesign done as I was originally hoping. Nor have I been very expressive lately. Something is sapping all my creative juices. Maybe its this winter weather. Maybe it's the leg. Maybe it's because I ...

Things might get crazy

Tuesday, January 31st, 2006

I have decided that I am sick of black. So I am going to be changing the look of the website a bit. It will be a slow process, and I plan on teaching myself a few new tricks. As I tinker with things, the site may not display properly. ...

Boxey Boxie

HP shipped us a lovely new large box. That means it's time to update the Snarfyboy logo! Here are my finalists. "Does this Box make me look fat?" Variation on the current photo. "Help me! I've fallen in a box and I can't get up!" "Kilroy was here." Similar to current photo, but ...

Rotten spammers spoil everything

Monday, October 18th, 2004

Well, my blog comment system had to be revamped because I was getting spammed by a gambling site. They were switching up IPs, so banning was only a temporary solution. Literally hunderds of comments were attached to my older posts. So, for the past few days, I had comments shut off. ...

Anger Management

Sunday, October 10th, 2004

Okay, I finished cleaning up the Alaska photos today and shrinking them to the standard 640x420 gallery size and converted them all to JPEGS. Then I decided to use gallery remote to upload them. My big mistake was taking 4 hours to write captions for them. When I attempted the upload, ...
