Hacker alert!
June 8th, 2007 ~ Potpourri for 100, AlexOur server was attacked by a computer hacker, and this blog might have been affected. Here’s Greg’s explanation for everyone:
Our web host, Dreamhost (www.dreamhost.com) experienced a significant security breach and our FTP login/password was among thousands exposed. The (rather enterprising) hackers managed to attach scripts to every blog we host (and we host several for friends in addition to this one) and to our church’s web site.
We’ve gone in and cleaned up the mess, but these scripts were very malicious. If you’re using Windows and Internet Explorer version 6 or earlier — and if you visited This Side of Glory anytime in the past two weeks — there’s a chance your machine has been infected with trojans, remote-access programs and other nasties. Please be safe, and run a full virus scan on your computer.

Ooo. Low blow.
Well, I’m too technology-impaired myself to judge these things one way or another. But Mac definitely has the cooler commercials.

Well, I don’t have a Mac - but I don’t use Internet Explorer any more often than I have to. FireFox is my browser of choice - though I scanned my computer just in case.
I WANT a Mac though :)
