Cough cough…

cough-cough

It seems that the ER blog caught a bit of a hack over the last couple of days. Props to the guys who managed it for their tech saavy.. but an appeal.

Pleez dun do it agin, k?

What an annoyance, really.. pulling the whole site down, and rebuilding it. I’ve lost my modded wordpress template, and to be honest, I’m seriously reconsidering whether to bother using wordpress into the future. It’s a nice piece of software.. but. I dunno how the hack happened, whether it was a *nix level attack, or the webserver itself, or some sort of exploit of how I enabled comments or something, or maybe just something that was out of date. So I’ll be being a bit more strict with that for the time-being.

Anyways, the alternative is going back to raw html writing.. which is sooooooooooo boring.

Just another rock on the path. I’m really not complaining all that much. I just lost some data I actually liked, so it’s a little annoying. Another setback.

/me sighs.

Edit (9/27): turns out, the whole webserver was compromised, so I sincerely doubt that my little wordpress install alone was the culprit. Still, it’s been uphill work to find a theme I can stand. But I think I can live with this one for the time being.

That “Comic Book” Effect

that-comic-book-effect

I tend to mark transitions in my life with Userpics. I move, I change my icon, I do a major project, I change it again. Very often, the userpic will capture the feeling of the moment, or a piece of the project. And when I recently completed a RL move, and had also redone my avatar in Second Life, I figured that was a good time for a new icon.

I’m a graphic artist by trade.. Illustration, Commercial Art, and from time to time Web Design.. Drawing and creating is what I have always done. Anyways, my latest userpic had sort of a “Comic-Book effect”.. and it was all basically done in photoshop, starting with a screenshot from SecondLife. A lot of people have asked me how I did it, so I figured I should put together a little presentation.
