My internet access (most of the city’s in fact) was down because Cox Internet messed up. Grrr…this just isn’t my week. I went to my ECON class today (more on that later) and realized that I had somehow forgotten to go to last Thursday’s class…I’ve missed many classes during my 22 years, but I’ve never, forgotten about one.

I think I need a “mood” indicator….today’s is “Highly Irritable”

Someone hacked my server today. No, they didn’t deface my homepage with some porn — they got into my arg gallery and “ATH” decided to delete my collection of paintings by Tamara de Lempicka. Sadly, I didn’t have a backup since that was it was recently added. How pathetic is that? Some peope hack Microsoft, IBM, CIA, etc, but these punks decided to go after my art. Anyway, with the database file safely out of the way (something I should have done as a precaution), this shouldn’t happen again. Just shows that you can never be too carefull about your mission-critical…online art gallery.
Edit: They struck again, exploiting a vulnerabilty in the gallery code. I traced the attack to Montevideo, Uruguay (IP: 200.149.0.209) If anyone want’s no snitch to ISP (yo no hablo espanol) it’s http://www.telemar.net.br/
