That time of year again … for what seems like a day or two (to me) seems to have somehow mysteriously stretch out to a week - or longer!

The problem with having these “stress release” moments (between jobs, while new coffee pots are brewing, while printing, while multitasking, etc) is that there is not enough time to do the actual work. I surf a little, read a little, socialize a little, and so on and so on .. and then have to get back to work. I completely forget to actually do blogging work!

So - I guess it’s time to start this use spreadsheet again!

Attempts to hack me continue

Every day .. someone is trying to hack into the dedicated server and my PetLvr blog .. but, so far security features and anti-spam control has blocked everything and will continue to do so (I hope and have to believe that). This is really evident in my daily LogWatch reports - because I see at least one IP trying to ‘brute force’ a login into the root of the dedicated server. Now, most of this stuff is automated (I’m told) and sometimes scripts or bots jump around trying to locate unsecure networks or gain access. So far, I get IP addresses attempting this in the 2,000 to 50,000 attempt ranges per day (as seen on previous post about the moderation). At the end of the day, we add the new IP to the banned list and another day goes by until the next Logwatch report.

I hope this evil person will give up one day, and move on to somewhere else.

For some reason, my wordpress MySQL database for The-Singers.com is damaged. If you click on a link in the sidebar’s tag cloud, you can access the posts .. however, for all intent and purposes, wordpress does not recognize that there is a single post in this blog.

I’m almost sure it has something to do with a plugin, but you know what? I don’t care.

Well .. I’ve upgraded 29 blogs to wordpress version 2.1 ..

There’s been two upgrades since I’ve started this process, with the latest version 2.1.2 really just a quick fix of a hacked upgrade 2.1.1 ..

But - if I don’t beef up my upgrades soon .. there might be a version 3 by the time I get around to things!

So, I’ve started to mass backup my data tonight and despite that will probably take about two more days full time backing the files and MySQL database .. I WILL FINISH the upgrades by Saturday morning! (more…)

* I have upgraded from wordpress version 2.0.2 to wordpress version 2.1

I have successfully upgraded callHART.com/crazy to the semi-latest version of wordpress 2.1

There were no real issues during the upgrade, but last night while I was upgrading .. my DSL connection kept dying out (maybe because of the wind?) but after a while I had to keep FTP’ing before it died out on me - I just went to bed. I forgot about finishing the upgrade until earlier this afternoon … whoooops!

Ugh .. sorry about that call HART crazy readers! (if you exist!)

* I have upgraded from wordpress version 2.0.4 to wordpress version 2.1

I have successfully updated The-Furniture-Site.com to the semi-latest version of wordpress 2.1

I say “semi-latest” because I did not bother to upgrade to past the 2.1 version that I have been upgrading all of the previous 27 of 40′ish blogs. I don’t see any point to convert to version 2.1.1 (which was hacked) or version 2.1.2 (that fixed the hack) … and any other interim upgrades to at leat the 2.2 version.

This is the first blog to completely have all the plugins loaded and activated as indicated on my previous post. I just nuked the old plugin folder and put in the new folder. I forgot, that some had certain permissions attached, but I easily learned that as I went along and was checking things a bit. I had to redo a few things, like the archives (I’m using a different plugin for that now), but all and all it went smoothly and without incident.

* MyBlogLog - my PetLvr Member Profile

I was “HOT” for about 10 seconds yesterday February 24th .. probably because of my comment on their blog about limiting the joining of communities to 15 per day .. and my subsequent post about that

I have now upgraded the DogLvr.com blog to the latest wordpress version 2.1

There were no surprises or issues during the upgrade and, as with most of the updating process .. the longest time is making the backups!
