Ok maybe the term ‘hardening’ is not exactly right since it is usually done on a more complex system. Nevertheless, after the incident where my blog is hacked by unknown attacker or two, I become a little bit paranoid. Thanks to Holy Shmoly, there is somewhat a definite guide on how to ‘harden’ your wordpress site.

The latter part of the article is a bit… technical but try to do at least the ‘Secret code’ part and ‘upgrade’ (preferably clean upgrade) and change ‘password’. I believe those three steps are sufficient for most of you.

Nevertheless, fell free to do all the steps mentioned (including installing IDS). I believe it will be an enriching experience.

In any case, random secret key generator can be found here.

I seldom blog about by daily activities. So allow me this time to talk a bit about my yesterday and possibly today.

Tired. But I enjoy my day.

Watching Wanted… really cool. Not to mention Jolie’s mysterious smile and passionate “ahh”.

Meanwhile… presenting to you, Facebook picture which I despise so much…

I believe that making it easier for people to identify yourself is a basic common courtesy. So if some you are still wondering why I never accept your friend request… its because I do not want to repeat ‘Smu Ppl’ fiasco again. (more on this later)

So make yourself identifiable … and make sure you are someone whom I know (obviously). Just like my friend Neha, I do not want to let some stranger prying at my photo and post it to some public forum or common image repository or worse : STOMP.com.sg - somehow I do not like Stomp since day one. Let say… it’s smell fishy.

Meanwhile… here is the latest stats on my facebook profile page.

So if you know who you are, kindly brush up your photo collection or at least identify yourself through message.
