Minor housekeeping note
If the blawg suddenly looks vastly different:
1. I’ve reconfigured things so that the “dominant”/default theme is Smells Like Facebook. I figure most people who read this thing anymore are probably following a link from Facebook to read it, might as well make ’em feel at home. If you liked the Mahigawa theme (the one with the “metal diamondplate” background, it’s still selectable as an option; look in the sidebar menu under “season to taste.”
2. I’ve deleted the Inanis Glass theme that was previously an option. Without going into too much detail, I thwarted a hack attempt on the site the other night that seemed to start from this section, and in so doing saw that there was a new version of Inanis that I was being asked to auto-update to. On the wild hunch that maybe there was a vulnerability in the old version, I simply took it off the site. The passwords have been changed across the whole site and stuff’s been locked down. Whoever it was: nice try, nicely played. What you didn’t count on was that I don’t actually sleep a whole lot and caught the hack in progress. Thanks for playing. Why you’d want to have a go at a no-longer-very-money-making site with a small audience is anybody’s guess. If it’s something personal, you know how to reach me. State your beef (min) and begone.

The past 18 months have been really tough on the bevy of computers in this house. The Avid bit it (but is feeling better these days), Zen bit it, a tablet cracked up and then came back good as new, even my wife’s netbook bit it and was returned, zombie-like, from the dead by the manufacturer. It’s not like we’re getting massive, knock-out-Manhattan-Island power surges every twelve minutes or anything… but it does seem like Murphy’s Law is being enforced pretty vigorously upon us of late. Money’s insanely tight right now, and my job prospects are looking… well… clouded. There’s no money to be thrown at the problem.
