Bah!

OK, so here's the deal.

Late last night, I get an email from Clausen. Somebody exploited the XML-RPC vulnerability in Drupal, which I had installed on the ACM server. Even better, drupal.org was down. It's still down, actually. They've been trying to reach their web host for two days. Anyway, at least the server wasn't actually compromised. I'm on #drupal at the moment, and one of the main developers got rooted.

Bah, humbug.

Happy 4th!

"Correspondence school."

"So Czech's in the mail?"

So I didn't really get to see any fireworks on account of all the lousy rain. Bummer. My dad, brother and I went golfing today, and ended up stranded in the lightning shelter by the 3rd green for 45 minutes.

My dad's 65th birthday party on Saturday went pretty well. We were at a forest preserve, and we went fishing. All I caught were a bluegill and a grass bass.

Well, two midterms on Thursday!
