Note To Self: Keep Your wp-content folder backed up

So I updated my wordpress install to 2.5.1

Only problem is I managed to deep six my wp-content folder. So until I get an hour it looks like the site is back to the default theme.

Remember kids, always keep your wp-content backup folder up to date!

Tumblr Is Pretty Awesome

I’ve been messing around with Tumblr for the last week. Its pretty awesome.

Basically its a blogging platform thats had all the bulk stripped from it. The Lotus Elise of blogs you could say.

Posting is easy as pie. Plus it has quick options for inserting images, videos, music, and anything else embeddable.

But my favorite feature, this is slightly geeky, is that I can just point the A-Record for a domain and/or sub-domain name I own to tumblrs servers and BAM custom blog. Why wordpress.com hasn’t done this already is beyond me.

Anyway here’s my tumblr blog tumblr.erikpersson.com

3 Days

I joined Vimeo 3 days ago. Just got a google alert telling me a new result for Erik Persson showed up. (I swear I’m not vain) My vimeo profile is currently on the second page of results. I haven’t linked to it or anything so thats just standing on its own.

Anywho you can find my vimeo profile here: Erik Persson Vimeo

and heres a video of me sleeping. (Not vain, its just the only video content that I’ve created recently)

It’s All Good

Yay Google says my site is clean once more.

Sorry about that whole “This site may harm your computer”, I swear its not infectious

So my wordpress site got hacked.

Some arsehole used the bug in 2.3.2 that allowed them to edit my posts and threw in some spyware links hidden in an iframe. Anywho I fixed that.

But now Googles pissed at me until they decide my site doesn’t have the clap anymore. But until they say I’m clean I get this awesome SEO sucking stamp on any results that my site comes up for

Check out this awesome ceramic pinhole camera created by Steve Irvine.

It’s designed to take a 4 x 5 inch piece of photo paper. The negative holder on the inside is made from three strips of black weather stripping.”

Heres the example shot.
