Yep. Too many spammers. So instead of killing comments altogether I’m trying a captcha mechanism.
Don’t Mind Me

Just poking around with some new themes. Honestly I should design my own but I’m too lazy to figure it out. Or maybe I’m just not creative enough.
Twitter is back.

I felt lonely without all the bots apparently. Or something.
And hey Alex, where the heck did you disappear to? Your myspace page is gone and alexypoly.com just goes to an Apache test page?

Stuff may be/look broke for a while.
Edit: 16 minutes. I think thats the fastest EVAR. And, I didn’t have to fudge with my theme.
Security Improvements
Posted by Erin | Filed under Uncategorized
Now that I’m on the Secteam at LW, its obviously got me thinking harder about implementing better security measures on this VPS. One thing I’ve already done is install CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall, available at http://configserver.com), and set LFD (the login failure daemon) to send me emails about detected security issues.
I also have Apache2/ModSecurity2 (with our latest ruleset), however I’m finding that I probably need to make a few other adjustments, such as enabling SuPhp and open_basedir, locking down permissions, and most importantly, keeping up with new versions of software (omg, WordPress 2.6.2 already?!). These things I hope to accomplish very, very soon.
