I have a little surprize instore for me today when I came to visit my sites. I was greeted by the following message - Defaced by ka0x - D.O.M TEAM 2008.
After recoving from my initially shock I went to check what damage they had done. It wasn’t so bad, they had just replaced the index file, so was easily fixed, then I checked another of my sites and that was also the same, in fact almost every site I had was defaced. So I checked further and found that every site on my hosts server was in fact defaced.
Although that is bad, I felt better as the attack wasn’t specifically aimed at me and to give the hackers credit, they renamed my files instead of deleting them, which made it much easier to repair my sites.
Of course, its sunday, I had loads to get completed on my sites and got next to nothing done. For those who missed the hacked site, I have attached a screenshot below (You can click on it to get a readable version)
I started up my computer this morning, waited for the usual updates, virus checks, etc.. Then opened thunderbird (my email client), and of course I got some new mail to read.
After searching through all the Penis enlargement emails, viagra emails, refinancing emails, free prizes and a nigerian minister who needs me to put $60million into my account for him. Oh not forgetting I won $1.5billion in a lottery I didn’t enter (not sure how to spend a billion dollars yet, I will wait till it arrives before spending it as im still waiting on the $11million I won last month).
Anyway, after I waded through those, I spotted an email with the subject ‘You Suck’ at first I thought maybe some russian woman who wants to find love was annoyed because I didnt reply to her last email, but no… It wasn’t. In fact it is my first piece of hate mail, its a special day for me as I haven’t received any before for Getburied.com. Basically, I suck because I don’t like Kate Nash and supposedly she is the best artist to grace this planet and I am just jealous (I posted about Kate Nash a while back, and her lack of talent).
I imagine you are all astounded at just how big GetBuried is getting, but that isn’t all, not only did I get that hate mail, I got another. Yes, thats right, two hate mails
I imagine lots of you are now planning to flood my mailbox with hate mails because your jealous that I received hate mail. If you do hate me that much, please please just post a comment instead, then everyone can read it.
I found this Image of Ben Bernanke explaining to some kids at a children’s party just how big he can inflated economic bubbles before they go pop. In the picture below he was discussing the asset price bubble (i.e. House Prices).
Of course, after the bubble got that big, it popped and he ended up with gum all over his face. For those who don’t know, Ben Bernanke is one of the clowns at the FED who thinks it is a good idea to reduce intest rates by 125 points in 2 sittings, of course inflation isn’t a problem, well not to them anyway.
As if the housing bubble wasn’t enough, it looks like that one isn’t the only one that is going POP!!! or perhaps BANG!!!. Here is a great short clip about it.
First there were blogs (these are web logs for people who don’t know or if you live in Scotland and the blog is small - its a Wee Blog), but blogging wasn’t enough, people wanted to make money from it. So they created blogs to make money, then people created blogs about how to create blogs that make money. Well now I think its time to create a blog about how to create a how to make money blogging blog (Or something like that). To find more information it can be read in my new virtual ebook which can be downloaded virtually from nowhere. Alternatively pop into you local virtual ebook download store where you also can’t get a copy.
Probably by now you are asking yourself what this post is all about? Perhaps Im just in a random mood, or perhaps I was searching around the internet looking at blogs and every other blog I looked at seemed to be about how to make money blogging. Sorry, but perhaps im missing the point here, is this what blogging is about. Okay, its nice if you have a popular blog to make a bit of cash from it, but surely before wanting to make money, you need to want to blog? or want to share something with the world?
For those who are really interested in blogging, not just making money from it, I suggest you check out delusionsofgrandeur.org of particular interest is his request for help with his new blog TheArtofBlogging.net. Seems like a move in the right direction for blogging, good luck with this
