Site Hacked :(

Appologies but the site has been down between Sunday evening and Monday morning (3rd April) as some bunch of script kiddie monkies decided to carry out a web site defacement. Essentially they replaced all my index files with the following;

Fatal Error 2006 – bY: owz

Looking this up on zone-h.org revealed that this is being carried out by a defacement team and thus far they’ve hit around 26196 sites! Nice work you brain dead morons !!!

Anywho no real harm done as I have a backup so the site is functioning again (aside from the gallery which I’ll fix this evening). Check the following link to see what sites have been hit zone-h.org

This week oi ave been mostly….

Listening to the Kleptones. The band create music by doing ‘mashup’ remixes of existing music. I’m currently listening to the album ‘Night at the Hip Hopera’ which is excellent, kind of Queen meets Hip Hop. They also have a new album out called ’24h Hours’ which includes the track ‘Babua Number One’ which is my current favourite. Both these albums and a few more are available for free, yes FREE, from their site at www.kleptones.com just go to the downloads area…..enjoy

Hosting Woes

Media_httpthforgukwpc_dklsr

You may have noticed the site has been down for most all of Saturday (or more likely you haven’t 🙂 ) Basically after my initial euphoria about Awardspace as my webhosting provider they go and start fiddling with PHP settings with the net effect of totally breaking my nice shiny new blog. I’m looking to redo the site yet again as i don’t really have time to do full on html design anymore so blogging is probably the way forward as it’s so quick and easy i’m more likely to keep the site up to date!

Please don’t forget this is a blog site so you can contribute too!, click the ‘Add comment’ link at the bottom of any article from which you can register for an account and then add your own comments to any of the articles on this site that interest you !

Playing childsplay.

Childsplay is a ‘suite’ of educational games for young children, like gcompris,
but without the overkill of c/c++ and the gnome environ.:-)
Also the use of the SDL libraries makes smooth animation and the playing of sound very easy. Childsplay uses a plugin system for the games, so you might want to check the childsplay-plugins page.
(There are two built-in games; Memory and a typing game)
Childsplay and the games are GNU-GPL licensed and are tested on GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and the Windows platforms. (98/ME/2K/XP)
You can download it here and best of all it’s FREE !!!
