Hard Disk Death

It happened when I least expected.

I just got back from half a month holiday only to discover my current data stronghold dead. Oh the horror! 250GB worth of "my precious" lost - not a single bit spared. The lost videos and animes will not be mourned, however the FLACs, pictures, documents, mp3s, and all of my work will be missed.

I've had quite a few hard drive tragedies, but for the most time I am usually around whenever a backup is necessary, so their death were not disastrous. But today (perhaps a few days back) this one died and no backup. Son of a b*tch!

Wow... this so called blog is quick transforming into a rant and bad news board. Hearing yourself whining on past frustation is somewhat funny yet interesting - however bad they were. Time will pass, I will get over this, and then I will probably reading this with a smirk. But today, at this time and moment... what a terrible home coming.

Hacked!

Damn it!

The only phpBB2 forum I have was hacked... badly! The site has to be taken down and wiped real clean. That's it, no more free open source content management system for me, I'll be using self-made cms from now on. It may not have certain features but at least I'll have complete understanding of its core.

On the bright side, nothing much was lost. After all the forum was just rather inactive with a bunch of bots as early members.

The Entry

Oh wow I made a blog isn't that great?

Yeah really, as if anybody would care with another "blog" written by another unknown blogger wannabe dude. Why created in the first place? A chance to bitch about stuff that didn't go my way, or sometime when "good" things happen - just that doesn't happen much. Pretty boring stuff. I know, but then so what? Blogging is so easy your average grampas can do it. Honestly, I'm even more surprised of myself to actually do something like this, probably because of blogging is just too easy to start these days... no wonder those so called "veteran bloggers" are mad-bitching claiming "bloggers" are polluting the search engine results. Must be great when you're on the top huh? Those "before" you are just bunch of boring midgets posting expired stuff of "my job", my cat, or whatever applicable "my"s while you yourself are convinced that you are providing quality "content" amongst real contents. Get over it. No amount of angry seo "expert" will deter anyone from starting a blog. The search engine takes care of itself, the "experts" otherwise can just go back to "the caves" doing more optimization. Pulling a black hat maybe? Sigh~ now I'm the one complaining. So much of a first post.
