Okay to peoples not interested into reading a few reflections about myself, you can skip this post right now.

I recovered my old forum  from 2006 and realised how … nice i used to be. It seems the past years got the better of me and i kinda drifted into being … plainly said, an unpleasant person. Maybe it’s the stress, the caffein, the loneliness… maybe it’s not anything but my own damn fault. It seems I’ve been feeding my dark side for a good while.

Recently it did bite me back in an unexpected way, i don’t think what i did was wrong, but i think i didn’t explain myself properly and what was my position in the debate … things kinda got out of hands and I took some collateral damages.

And the more you struggle, usually the deeper you go once peoples made their mind about you.

Anyway, since it’s nearly Christmas, and soon time for new year vows, I wish to become more tempered, I am not going to fool myself in thinking I can become a good person, wear a wimple be called Sister Nicey and say “god bless you” to peoples (atho i’m sure nun role-play can be very… exciting ^o^ ), I am who I am but I could probably put my talent to better use than attracting hate.

Soooo, lets see what next year will be made of ^_^ i hope it’s made of latex.

Well well i hope i will manage to sleep tonight, the whole kdc vendor network bugged itself in the middle of the afternoon after some guy tried (and succeeded) executing his code on my server through a joomla exploit, wich allowed him to, I assume, escalate privileges to root on my dated kernel using, yet another exploit.

That’s the second breach in the same joomla installation in two weeks but this time it really gave me cold sweats.

The said installation is completely disabled now until it’s owner either patch the exploit or get away with joomla altogether.

Well if you wanted a reason not to use joomla -_-

Everything else is back, up and running…

… for now.

Okay before anybody asks this post is solely about real life.

Sometimes i feel moving to a new place is made needlessly harder than it should be…
Yesterday, probably due to the roadwork that is going on around my city block every single days of the year, we had a power outage of a bout 20 minutes.
After the power cam back on i discovered with aprehention that my DSL modem stays stuck on an error code.

I forgot to renew my domain name , wich tossed all the vendors in offline mode.

No panic i’m NOT leaving sl just yet.

Just wanted to say that i’m back, and well, i need to decide what to do now…

It seems my connection is acting up since a few days, i won’t log in SL or make anything new until it gets fixed.

I will post when the situation is resolved.

I don’t like that, i really don’t but i have to cut the losses, i’m Selling the land in livigno.

I just spent a little more than 12 hours on upgrading my dedicated server, apache changed configuration AGAIN so i used a lot of time just to understand what was wrong in my configuration.

Now everything seems back to normal.

Here is a little summary of the sapper work the government majority worked on during the last 5 years. Apparently for some peoples giving up citizen freedom to curb violence and terrorism is a fair trade. Sometimes i wonder why i am still part of this country. Today might be the first stone that will entomb the freedom of information on the French internet. A sad and dark day indeed.

Sometimes you wonder what else will happen, well i finally had enough of my graphic card problems. It seems in my never ending luck i apparently got a defective graphic card. And it is raging on me since like 3 months.

Well i have enough of it now, so i ordered an NVIDIA 8800gtx 🙂
Now i just have to cross fingers that it was really the problem.
