    Those who know what it is will be foaming at the mouth, those who do not will try to forget they ever saw it.



    Walking out the other day, early morning... found this dude passed out at the end of my block. No clue how he did it, it was freakin' cold that morning. Once we crossed the street my friend thought we should have checked if he was dead. Yeah, I guess we could have checked for signs of life but I was too hungry and the light had turned red by then.


    Ah, Montreal, I'm gonna miss it.


  • Jetlag makes you do stuff you shouldn't

    Like walking on your laptop when getting off your bed.

    Here's me doing my best Home Alone impression, on screen, with cracks:


    That's how I learned that buying and installing a new lcd part is easier than learning to drive... So I'm wiser (and slightly poorer) now. So suck on that, mister 'oh well it's going to be cheaper to buy a new one' at the computer shop.


  • Hanging out in Tokyo.

    Busy hanging out, so no time to say anything to you guys.

    But I'll give you this. Couldn't sleep and turned on the tv late the other night. Whatever the hell that was about... After laughing and jumping for a minute, then she went on to crush cans and shit with those.


    I have a theory about how people eat and what it might say about their sex lives.
    And in any country, I think the content of a sex shop also has something to do with it.
    But really, someone will have to tell me what the hell this thing is supposed to mean:


    I also have another theory about the overuse (and mostly misuse) of the French particle 'DE' in Asia, but that's a totally different story.

    But for now, random images of what I up to yesterday...




  • Not yet in website-hacking hell

    Wednesday, Jul 9, 2008 5:20PM / Standard Entry / Members only

    Found out my website has been hacked into the other day.
    Guess that explains why I can't log in most of the time.

    But eventually I did get in and when I checked the visitors stats, there was something like a 1000% surge in traffic overnight. Well I didn't do the math but it sure jumped over 100 single visitor per day when I average about 10 usually.

    The regular pages are untouched at the moment. They just put their stuff in some far out subfolders... which I manage to put in the trash for now. Changed a few links. Bingo, I got thousands of 404 page views since and traffic is back to normal (minus those hits on fake pages that don't exist anymore).

    My only hope is that my providers will manage to fix this.

    Or at least that whoever did this in the first place won't notice my little 'switcharoo' and retaliate on the rest of the website. Obviously they'll notice I have no clue about anything html and whatnot (I'm still amazed I managed to built one, and even get some good comments about its design) and might decide to have a little fun with me. One of the referers I checked out had their frontpage totally rebuilt with massive logos saying 'hacked by so and so'. I didn't read the whole thing, but scrolled down to the bottom of the page, where it said 'YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE MESSED WITH US, ISLAM IS THE TRUE FAITH', then followed by something in Arabic which I think is probably the usual 'God is great'. Anyway, seriously, like, what the fuck?

    I checked out some of the bizarre linking-thing they put in there. Some blogs were hacked into as well, older entries becoming massive lists of random subjects linking to what I presume to be more websites that were hacked into. I managed to find one of the 'subjects' linking to my website... it said WITHDRAWAL FROM MORPHINE.

    I thought that was hilarious.


    In other news, I'll be doing some fixing on the 'Stills from my daily job', make it a little more interesting (and logical) to watch. Seems the guys here at AnD haven't thought of a way to re-order your pictures.

    Or maybe I'm just an idiot who didn't notice the magic button for this. Let me know if that's the case, and do mention where's that button, not just the fact I'm a complete idiot, please.

    Traffic graphs before 'the hack kicked in', during, and after my switcharoo...
