Is the WordPress SEO-Slugs Plugin Hacked Or What?

April 21, 2012 By Stephen Leave a Comment

I noticed something very odd in my blog logs today: Lots of requests for things I never wrote! I was getting hundreds of requests for "Christiano Ronaldo 2012 Boots" and other nonsense. A quick search revealed hundreds of links to my site promoting wallpaper images that I don't host, all running through a disused Wordpress plugin. I deleted the file, and couldn't find any hack … [Read more...] about Is the WordPress SEO-Slugs Plugin Hacked Or What?

How My Blog Became Infected With MW:JS:150 Malware (And How I Fixed It)

January 26, 2012 By Stephen 4 Comments

This week, two blog readers let me know what Google Chrome was warning them of malware on my blog.

Although I was disappointed by the lack of clarity about how to fix it, I believe I was able to remove it last night. Here's what I did.

I downloaded the … [Read more...] about How To Make TimThumb Play Nicely With TanTan’s WordPress S3 Plugin

A High-Performance, Low-Memory Apache/PHP Virtual Private Server

July 30, 2010 By Stephen 4 Comments

I've previously written about my Multi-Server Web Hosting Environment and the how I Tuned Lighttpd For Linux to run as well as possible. But I've been having weird issues with that setup lately and was forced to rebuild the server entirely. While I was at it, I decided to give Apache another try, since the lighttpd hackery I needed to perform to get things like WP-SuperCache … [Read more...] about A High-Performance, Low-Memory Apache/PHP Virtual Private Server

Zend Simple Cloud API = Freedom!

September 22, 2009 By Stephen 3 Comments

As I pointed out last week, cloud computing does not need traditional consensus-committee standards, at least not yet. The inherent flexibility and programmability of cloud platforms and applications lends a certain flavor of openness to cloud computing that reduces the requirement for (and thus impact of) standards. Furthermore, the amazing creativity currently being applied … [Read more...] about Zend Simple Cloud API = Freedom!
