Virb has finally been released to the public, and now has a fantastic index set up on it. If you haven’t joined it yet, sign ups are open to the public. Profiles are now able to be seen by non-members, so let’s see how long it takes before people start flocking this way. I know one of the groups, VIRB Suggestions/General Feedback has already had one member post asking for someone to tell them how to create/add a left column. Hopefully some of those groups won’t get hit too hard with help requests.

Anyway, here’s a shot of the site:

I love this place.

I don’t know how to feel about this, but my middle sister Morgan is sixteen today. It’s weird thinking that she’s now able to have a job, and drive a car. To me I still feel like she’s 10 years old, that little dorky kid that had yet to really blossom and stray from her tomboy roots. And now she’s in highschool, two years shy of graduating. Now thinking about that, makes me feel old and useless.

Yet I’m not that old. In two months I will be 21 years old, and with very little to show. Some people would think otherwise, but to me, I just don’t see that I’ve accomplished much. Sure, I moved out when I was 18 and was able to live life on my own, but here I am almost 21 and back with my parents. I really need to go back to school. I was leafing through the summer courses booklet, and found a few classes I might take. They’re either a 1 or 3 credit hour class, but it’s a class nonetheless.

Other than that, my weekend was very nice one. I didn’t do much, but Mark was over most of the weekend. Watched movies, cuddled, watched more movies, made food, and did other things too. I really love being around him, it just comforting being with him and having him in an arm’s distance. I also have this obsession with scratching the little beard he had going on, since he hadn’t shaved in a week. I hope he didn’t get rid of it, like he said he was going to do last night.

I miss that terd something awful already. Maybe I can entice him with brownies, to come over tomorrow night. Though these brownies will have to be the most amazing, melt-in-your-mouth brownies because the Dan Ryan expressway is essentially a nightmare and should be highly avoided. Maybe I can also seduce him with something else, aside from brownies, and remind him he can still take interstate 55 for a bit, and then just endure minimal traffic on Harlem Avenue.

If you click any of those links, you can get an idea of the area where I live at 😉

I was so tired of the previous color scheme. This one is just temporary until I smooth out my other theme, and get this site transferred to the new server.

I know I said this sometime last month, but this month has started on a good note. I’ve been getting a lot of new clients for Holdfire Network, new design clients, and I’ve even won a few contests (which is worth about $69, not that much, but hey, it’s not like I had to use my own money.)

I also have another interview on Monday for Barnes and Noble, so I really hope this will finally be the last one I have to worry about for a long time. I’m getting very restless not having a full time job bringing in an expected pay every two weeks. I could really use the money too. After paying off a few things, I’m definitely going to be splurging on a new computer, hair do, tattoo, and getting my car fixed (realignment.)

Other then that, I’ve been working on transferring over clients to [another] new server that I just got. Then I have to go through all of my other clients to see what version of WordPress they have installed, to ensure that it’s not 2.1.1 as I’m sure some of you have read about. I sent them an e-mail to upgrade this weekend, but for those that don’t, I’m not sure what I should do. I said I would suspend their accounts until they contact me to upgrade it, because this is a must, that all scripts be kept updated. I think after I run through the WordPress upgrades, I’ll look through their sites for other scripts that could pose security issues. It’s been awhile since I’ve done manual searches, so I guess I’m do for it.

But I don’t want to do that all night. I want Mark to come over, because you know, I like when he’s around. He’s also thinking about getting a Macbook Pro. I hope he gets it, because I can’t wait to play with his mac. I’ll have to find a way to keep him off of it though, I told him that I’ll come over to play on it and he can go play Zelda on his Wii. ^_~

Long story short: If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

Longer explanation: This morning we received a note to our security mailing address about unusual and highly exploitable code in WordPress. The issue was investigated, and it appeared that the 2.1.1 download had been modified from its original code. We took the website down immediately to investigate what happened.
