1. How many things can I test at once? Will the new pinger work?
2. The other thing I’m testing isn’t here — it’s over at the Mister Linky Blog — yes, please do!
3. I’m soooo hungry right now. I need a snack!
4. But I’m stuck at the car fix-it place with nothing to eat!
5. I might have wander over to the DD next door — horrors!
6. I came in for an oil change and to check my alignment.
7. They showed me my brake pads, which were worn bad.
8. It’s going to be an expensive day.
9. I guess I’ll have to stay up all night making new t-shirts!
10. Or bake some cookies or point to my tip jar.
11. They sprouted wi-fi since I was here last.
12. Boy is there some awful crap on TV right now!
13. I’m trying not to watch since I’m supposed to be working. ::ahem::

Maybe I am paranoid, but I do know when they’re talking about me.

I walked into the kitchen today (at work) and my boss was in there talking to this woman all whisper whisper.

No, I don’t think they were talking about me. But it reminded me about yesterday, which I meant to post, and then, well, ya know…

I was done working out and I needed to buy some lettuce and tomato from the salad bar, because I was feeding my daughter a chicken patty sandwich and (I thought) she was going to want that on it. Of course she proceeded to remove every last little grape tomato I had lovingly cut in half and placed on her sandwich. Hey, more for me!

But anyway, as I’d walked in I saw that my RLF’s (so-called) were all sitting at their favorite lunch-time-wasting table on the other side of the cafeteria. I ignored them, as I always do, and went to getting my lettuce and tomato. I needed to get upstairs and make my lunch, cause I was hungry. Well as I’m gathering my tomatoes, I hear laugh laugh laugh. Now I’m getting some lettuce. Now it’s louder, laugh laugh laugh laugh. Hey, some onion, I love onion on my chicken patty sandwich! Even louder, laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh. You *cannot* tell me they weren’t doing that to get my attention, you just can’t.

Turd heads, all of ‘em.

I’ve written a little script to help you figure out if your WordPress site has been hacked.

0. almost forgot — don’t do this until AFTER you’ve upgraded to 2.5.1.
1. download this file
2. rename it from “checker.txt” to “checker.php”
3. using Notepad or TextEdit, change the username string (optional) and password string (required)
4. upload edited checker.php to the public_html folder of your host
5. run it — http…your-server…checker.php (enter the username/password you chose)
6. look at what gets printed out…

** if(md5 **
if anything gets printed here, that’s trouble
** _wp_debugger **
if anything gets printed here, that’s trouble
** wp-info.txt, _new, _old, .pngg, .jpgg, .giff **
if anything gets printed here, that’s trouble
** checking for suspicious Wordpress user **
no suspicious Wordpress user
(if it prints something else, that’s trouble
** dumping active_plugins option records **
it’s hard to describe what constitutes trouble
in this section — if you see lots of dots and slashes,
that’s certainly suspicious.  send it to me and I’ll
let you know.

And of course, don’t hesitate to ask for help!
