When commenting on a previous entry here, I came upon the most fitting captcha I’ve ever seen:

Epic MT Update FAIL
Of course, as soon as I wrote that last post yesterday, my Internet connection completely crapped out. I’ll get around to the update later today if possible.

Updating to MT 4.2
I’ll be upgrading to a newer version of my blog software this evening, so please tell me if electricity is cut off all up and down the west coast or something as a result, k? Meanwhile at Yoshida Manor:

Shared server tool
Use this handy site to see what other domains are hosted on your shared server: Reverse IP Domain Check It was mildly amusing to find a site on my shared server called, I shit you not, “Penguin Sex.” And yes, I was too scared to click the link (well, at work anyway).

native mt captcha note (CaptchaSourceImageBase)
I sometimes get inquiries about implementation of the native Movable Type captcha system for comments, often from people who are on the same webhost as this site but cannot get the captchas to work. You might just be in luck if you’re looking for a fix for the following message that appears at Blog Settings –> Comment settings –> Comment Display Options –> CAPTCHA Provider: “You will need to speak to your host about Image::Magick and if it is installed. CaptchaSourceImageBase is a configuration directive.” As you can see, any really useful information is kind of left out, but a bit of Googling reveals the following: CaptchaSourceImageBase is simply a…

We be back
So a friend asked if this is really the last time I’m changing webhosts this decade, to which I could only reply, “shit, I really hope so.” Well, third time’s a charm and all that (My three for posterity’s sake: FeaturePrice, iPowerWeb, Dreamhost. Yes, I sure can pick ’em). I have a bunch of stuff to post, but getting this site back up took it’s toll. Time to sleep so the baby can wake me up….

Google & Firefox Warnings Fixed
Almost ten days ago I wrote briefly about how this site got haxx0red and had been unintentionally serving a hijacking script, and how you would probably have trouble even visiting if you were using FF3. As it turns out, if you attempted to visit any of the pages here through Google, you also got a warning about this being a potential attack site. This was pretty fucking annoying, truth be told. Irony of ironies, I used Google’s very own Analytics service to watch how traffic was directed away from my site day by day as a result of scary warnings from Google and Firefox 3. Quite honestly, I assumed that…

This is not an intentional attack site
A couple of friends let me know that this site is being listed as an “attack site” in Firefox 3 and at least one antivirus program (Avast). This is not without reason. I found a hijacking script in my main index page today. I promptly deleted it, but am not sure how the script got there in the first place. I’ve taken steps to prevent it from happening again, but this is just another reason I’m leaving Dreamhost. In the meantime, I apologize if this problem affected anybody, and this is NOT AN ATTACK SITE (anymore, admittedly). I wonder how long it will take for FF3 to unlist me as…
