Yesterday I have noticed strange behavior reviewing my websites logs statistics. I have found that somebody was requesting my config.inc.php way too often, also a file .c.php was very suspicious. This all happened inside Original photo gallery writen by Jakub Steiner. I have closed my Photo Gal strait away. Today Jakub has posted about this vulnerability.
He has upgraded Original but now I am in doubt if I should restore my photo gallery. Will see maybe I will come up with something else as now, I am thinking about migrating to my own server soon ( months ).

For some thoughts about the second type, read more

Yesterday I have ordered a WD3200YS disk, it’s a Western Digital RE ( RAID Edition ) 320GB disk. Today arrived.
Disk is now sitting in my MV and rebuilding volume on to it. So in 7h and 30m I will have a fully working RAID 1. I can already hear my data whisper “yes, finally we are safe from one disk failures”.

After many years … yes, years, I’ve sort of sorted my music 
Still have to get rest of my collection from Poland but it’s good. Also a friend shared some nice soul with me, THX! it’s cool hot.
It appears that my recent purchase ( the HP Media Vault ) was a great idea. It forced me to sort my data properly and security is strait in my network now, all thanks to my new NAS
Soon I will have to get around buying that 300GB SATA HD to enable mirroring on it, super safe!

I’ve just created brand new GPG key for use in my Jabber comm. If I have you in my roster, or not and you wish to use more secure channel for comm , simply ask.
