Instagram and AD&D
I just bought ancient Advanced Dungeons & Dragons books for Erik, his favorite bedtime books are Fiend Folio, Monster Manual II, and um… I forget the third. Anyways, we needed Dungeon Masters Guide, Players Handbook and the first Monster Manual, ebay to the rescue.
Also, Instagram is out for Android, to bad it can’t push to WordPress. For now things will go up to http://superjens.tumblr.com
Wellllllll
Longboarding
Yes I still play Dungeons and Dragons
WTF of course I do. I also play Chess and Monopoly, and if there were a few naked girls around I’d also play Twister.
Yet another room I could live in
So this site was hacked
Thanks to Google Alerts I received a notification of a new mention of the word “superjens” somewhere. It lead me to a site that appears to list hacked websites. I checked my site, all looked good, but a little more digging brought up a virus.html file in my www directory.
Neat!
Anyways, I changed all the passwords, removed the offending file, and then actually discovered a “virus” in one of the themes I was messing around with, Nova from here: http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/nova/
Now I can’t say for certain if the virus was there originally, or was planted by whoever broke into my site, but that entire theme has been removed as well. All is clean, as far as I can tell. I’ll have to dig into this some more, maybe I should rebuild the site from my last backup. Whatever, there’s nothing important on there.
No snooping please!
Stop Online Spying
Scumbag Plumber
We rent, which mean our landlord pays for any repairs to our place that aren’t our fault. Our kitchen faucet suddenly stopped giving out hot water, and as handy as I am in the house (not very) I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. He agreed we should call in a plumber.
So they came, fixed some broken washers, gave me a bill and I payed it by cheque. Half an hour later, they called me back and said they lost the cheque. No problem, come back and I’ll dish out another one. In the meantime, I went online and cancelled the cheque, costing me $15.
I deducted the $15 from the new cheque and sent them on their way. Half an hour later, their boss called and demanded I cough up the $15 … stupid I told the boys that showed up that our landlord was paying for it, not sure why I did, but I did … anyways, his justification was that the landlord was paying for it so what did I care?
He called me back this morning again, and I refused. My logic was that his boys lost it, they should be paying the $15, not me, and certainly not my landlord.
More arguing from him. Get lost.
