Download Section Added

I Just thought that I would announce: I have added a new section titled “downloads“, a place where I can put a few of my attempts at art and various other things that I am willing to share with the world. At the moment it is small, with a few wallpaper attempts and a couple of banners. It should hopefully grow as time goes by. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think.

WordPress Blogger’s beware

Today I found that some one had registered on Shellscript with the username: poset97qq & email: petersmith97@gmail.com, over the last couple of days I’ve had a massive influx in spam comments. And because the username looked a little too random, I was slightly weary of the new subscriber.

After googling the username I came across a number of blogs complaining about the very same subscriber. It seems like it could be the same bot with the username: xdfsd45oi & email: johnsmithuswe@gmail.com that tried to delete a number of blogs a while back, due to a word press bug that has since been fixed. The best thing to do if any of these users register on your blog is to delete them and make sure you have the latest version of word press installed.

Shell Script Online Offline Online!

Shellscript.co.uk has been on and offline constantly for the last seven days due to a faulty Internet connection, after an upgrade on the connection took place just over a week ago. It has been difficult to get a connection to the Internet for more than a few minutes at a time. For 3 hours yesterday, it remained connected, so I was able to get shellscript transferred to an offsite web server – which I had planned on doing in a few weeks time despite this problem. The transfer was just in time because 10 minutes after, the Internet connection died again. Fortunately, ShellScript is now back online and all seems to be well again.
