Oopsies!

Filed under: General — Chris Parker @ 19:02

The server totally died today. It was running on a computer borrowed from howard. The computer no longer boots and the hard disk that was in it no longer spins in any pc that I have put it in.

Consequenty, I have lost a few blogs but that is about all. The funny thing is that it happened when I was backing up :-)

The server is now operating back on the original hardware which is a P2 350 with 780 megs of ram.

Hacked!

Filed under: bahuma.net — Chris Parker @ 15:58

Bahuma was hacked yesterday and hence no blog entry.

C2r from a group that call themselves xfree got root shell access to my machine through a vulnerability on the system. He defaced my webpages, deleted the logs and put in a back door.

I have since re built the server on a new computer with a newer version of server software to try and prevent this from happening again.

Amber

Today is the second anniversary of amber weatherstones death. I cant believe it. It feels like so so long ago. I look back in my mind of the good memories, they still make me smile. I wonder what she would be doing today if she was still alive

Dinner

Filed under: General — Chris Parker @ 23:18

Had a telstra dinner tonight. The food was quite good this time and they gave us some free beers :-) Won myself a nice telstra clock for answering a question which was cool.

The remainder of the honours talks were on today – everyone did well :-) I am soooo glad mine was the other day :-)
