The Definite Article

When a big victory like this one comes along, it's nice to be able to share, even if it has to be kept to vague terms.

I'm chuffed because I predicted this attack before it occurred, and got it exactly right, down to the week and the attack vector and the toolset. Beautiful. Lucky.

There are a number of countermeasures that my employer has put in place that protect them from this type of compromise as a result of me. :) That's a good feeling. I like to think I'm keeping your money safe.

It's a constant uphill fight against a confederacy of dunces to prevent unsafe or insecure infrastructure from being built, though.

Anyway, enough of my babbling: go check out what happened.

And the comments are fixed. The site even counts the number of comments correctly.

The backend is working smoothly and the interface looks clean.

I'll be dropping a selection of cascading style sheets into dornbrook.com for folks who want to use them; take a trip over to MovableStyle and pick out one you want. Email me to let me know which one you want, and I'll apply it to your blog.

It's been an exhausting week, all of it from the blogs. God help the spammers should I ever meet one. I wouldn't be able to control myself. Really.

Pure evil: DMA I don't know how these guys sleep at night.

Anyway, I'm not sleeping at night either, because I'm here, making the blogs go.

Finally, a thanks to Mendon, Mara, Rachael and my parents, all of whom have blogs and who were patient and supportive the whole time, especially while I was grumbling and swearing and throwing things.

I also owe some thanks and apology to Roddy and Marc. Roddy moved out this past Thursday and is now in Rome, growing grapes in some kind of semi-retirement. Marc moved in on Thursday, two hours after Roddy moved out. Both of them had to put up with brooding, dark-eyed moodiness while the blogs were being rebuilt, in some cases from scratch.

New entry. This interface totally blows.
