Blogger hack

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Everything seems back to normal after Blogger got hacked this morning. While it was out I read about this crap viral spam effort too.

Gee in the little more than a year since I’ve had this site I’ve had a hosting company go out of business, leaving all of their customers in the lurch, my ICQ account was targeted and hacked, the new hosts server was hacked and my site defaced, and Blogger has been hacked twice. Between all of that and the normal virus/spam/spyware/bad software issues I’m beginning to wonder if being online is even worth all of this crap anymore. Maybe I’ll go find a less stressful hobby.

    It seems that research has concluded that Guinness bubbles do, indeed, sink. I’m glad we’ve got that settled! I hate to think of all the people out there tonight, drinking down their Guinness not knowing whether those bubbles are sinking or if it just looks that way! Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    Thanks to a tip from Sikko2Go (an interesting monicker, to be sure.), I was able to get the comments emailed again. For those of you keeping score at home the relevant changes are: Change “CDONTS.NewEmail” to “CDO.MESSAGE” Change “mail.Body=MailBody” to “mail.htmlBody=MailBody” Take out the next line “mail.importance=1”. – I’m not sure if there’s something you…
