my wordpress site got hacked

my wordpress site got hacked
A few weeks ago I upgraded to the latest 3.2.1 release of wordpress. Of course like everyone I’ve a few what I’ll call core plugins I require. The most recent of these to get added to my list is Donncha O’Caoimh’s http://ocaoimh.ie/exploit-scanner/ Of course when I installed it at the same time as installing the 3.2.1 release of wordpress the hash files weren’t available for 3.2.1. This lead me to lots of False positives. Yesterday then when I scanned I for some reason thought I was seeing the same thing. I mean upd.php and config.php seem like two perfectly normal files...

Hang on LinkedIn I didn’t sign up for that.

Hang on LinkedIn I didn’t sign up for that.
So I use LinkedIn … I’m not sure why? I’m not looking for a job and well I don’t find it that great to make business contacts. The groups I used be a part of I felt were extremely spammy and ended up with me just turning them off.

Say hello to my little friend :)
It’ll probably come as no shock to anyone that knows me I like taking pictures and I like playing with graphics. However as cool as it has been to do that this is the first picture to ever truly mean so much to me. I give you my little friend and the first picture. Today was the second echographie and I just can’t describe the high I’m feeling and on right now 152 beats per minute is the most amazing music I’ve ever heard in my life. 38.11mm foot wonder what that is in UK size ? ...

Stop eating my memory Firefox

Stop eating my memory Firefox
Came about a very useful command the other day ( well maybe not command but feature ) in Firefox that lets you check the memory usage of the browser. Seems that FireFox + a few plugins always start to eat up memory on me. I don’t have that many plugins installed YSlow / Adblock and a few others you can see below So why not throw about:memory into the URL bar and you get to see some interesting stuff. Seemed a bit high to me. I killed the browser and started it again and suddenly we’re down to Wonder if I removed all the plugins if things would stabilize a bit but then it’s pretty...
