“Some of your db passwords are belong to us,” reports Death By Comet. The issue at hand is that Google Code will expose passwords stored in config files, such as wp-config.php and mt-db-pass.cgi, potentially resulting in headaches for site administrators. Thankfully, the solution is just plain common sense: Don’t store your backups on your production server. File that under: Sherlock, No Shit. Anyway, don’t get caught with your pants around your ankles and move your backups to a secure location.

Google Code Will Snarf Your Backups!
Friday, October 6th, 2006Thanks MSN…
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006Due to some crummy indexing by MSN my succinct blurb about Steve Erwin generated way more traffic than was warranted. It seems that yesterday my site was in the top five results for Steve+Erwin+Video largely because MSN mashed together two posts. Here’s a screen grab of it finally depreciating off the front page.
My traffic moved from its comfortable and sleepy 120 unique hits per day to over 500–oddly enough right about dinner time–and I’m surprised my connection and server held up. Way to go, Redmond.
***Oh, and come to find out I’ve spelt his last name wrong. Way to go, elwoodicious.***
