Site Hacked!

Posted on by

I just realized yesterday that my blog was hacked by some group. I don’t remember the name though. I don’t know when it was hacked but I was informed by Google via email yesterday night. Thanks Google!

I tried to log-in to the client area to open a support ticket but there was no account associated with my email. I frantically emailed my host via the official support email and found out someone (with my login credentials) changed the email associated with my account to my old Hotmail. I immediately thought of the security breach that happened earlier this month after I used TrueSwitch Hotmail.

In the state of panic, I login to ftp to check my files. Sure enough, all files were gone (apart from the index.php that the hackers placed) but luckily only ibnuasad.org was affected. The rest of my sites and database was untouched.

It’s been a long time

Posted on by

It’s been a while since I’ve posted something new. Some updates:
- Studying Diploma in Computer Science, expected to graduate on the 1st quarter of 2012.
- Bought a new VX6 Lamborghini a few months ago.
- Attended Soft-Skills class sponsored by MDEC and currently attending Fundamentals of 2D Animation Using Toon Boom…also sponsored by MDEC.
- Stopped ghost-blogging, revenues are at an all time low but still enough for day to day expenses.

I’ll be publishing my portfolio over the course of the next few months and this means that I’ll be changing the blog’s theme.

That’s all for now.

P.S. Long live WordPress!

Another Glitch!

Posted on by

A few hours ago, I noticed that all of my sites were loading very slow. First I thought Streamyx is having problems again but after further testing and snooping around, I found that other international sites load normally and that it was there was a server outage with my site(s) server.

My sites was just moved to a new server recently and I don’t know why is the server unstable today. Well, I just have to live with it…it’s one of those things you can’t really predict and avoid when you are on a shared hosting environment.

UPDATE!
I’ve reported the problem to the technical team and shortly after they replied saying that there is a site that was using an improperly configured script which caused the whole server to be unstable and they have suspended the site :)

Similar Posts Plugin Installed

When I changed to the Milblog theme, I installed the Similar Posts plugin but I forgot to integrate function into the sidebar :P

I’ve added the similar posts function to the blog and you’ll only see it on Individual Posts and not in the Home Page, Individual Page or Archives.

It wasn’t really hard to make the similar posts function appear only in individual posts…I simply used the following code:
<?php if (is_single()) { ?>
<h2>Similar Posts</h2>
<?php similar_posts(); ?>
<?php } ?>

This is why I love WordPress so much…it’s easy to customize!

:D

Blog Revamp *Almost* Complete

Posted on by

Blog Theme
I guess most of you already noticed that I’ve change the blog’s theme to a Military WordPress Theme called “Milblog Woodlands Theme“. I’m a fan of the military and I really like the theme.

Biography Page
Also, I am currently in the midst of updating my Bio page..especially the “Movies” section. The section was too cluttered and I decided to sort the movies by Year of release. There are many movies that I’ve yet to include and I think I’ll finish the list by the end of this week. I’ve seen a lot of for the past year and most of it I downloaded it from *w4r3z* forums :) I like to download movies from the forums because in the Cinema, they cut a lot of scenes. The movies that I download are full and some even Unrated. If you really want to enjoy the thrill of watching a FULL MOVIE, downloading it off the net is the best way ;)

Navigation Link
When I changed the blog theme, I forgot to place the link to my gallery :P I’ve added the link ;)

In Other News
