Doomsday at work

1:08pm JST Monday 14 April 2008 (day 13900)

It's not actually "doomsday" here at work, but I just wanted an early-in-the-alphabet thing after "Dentist." However, I'm totally dead in the water at work. The svn server which has all the changes / code / everything I was working on can't be reached by http, nor https, nor ssh, and I don't know any other ways to reach it.

Too bad it was decided to put all our SVN crap on there. I'm trying not to be all "I muthafuckin' told you so!" cause I thought it was a waste to host our own SVN server, when all we really needed were clients. This has caused over a week of downtime for me, and today is another day that I'll prolly not be able to do anything.

Rebooting the machine plus restarting the web server fixed the SVN server problem, and I was able to reconnect with my week of changes, finish them, merge them with the trunk, and update the live server. Nice.

(*) however, I still believe we should not be hosting our own SVN server.

Facebook FunWall hacks

Hello

I'm reporting two distinct, yet related events.  The first is an email I believe was sent by a bot
of some sort, so I have included the original message and all headers below (see "begin first
message").  Basically it's a FunWall post announcement, but the content of the FunWall video is not
something I think my friend Paige would send.  (It's a few second clip of two Chinese (?)
newscasters.)

I then received a message from a different friend of mine, which I have pasted below (in richtext);
see "begin second message."  She claims she didn't send a FunWall message that came from her
profile.  I personally did not receive the message to which she's referring, but apparently some of
her other friends did.

I'm no bruce schneier, but I know a fair bit about web (in)security, so please don't reply with a
canned message about how I can protect my password.  I hope the messages below help you guys; I like
Facebook and hope it stays healthy.

I group

I-group was a full house last night with six men present. With people traveling and working in other countries, we often don't see more than four. I led the evening and four men did work
