Cars, Security and a Peek into my Life
Things are looking sharp around here at KeriBlog eh?!! :D
Be mindful of the two potential security holes in your website:
1 – Always update your theme, and to get your theme from a company that will provide updates
2 – Your log-in name and author name are likely the same, so don’t display it by the “posted by”
What installing a new theme looks like:
Next up: making my sidebar amazing. I have a list on paper here.
Pumped.
Plain, simple, white & blue KeriBlog… 2010 – 2012… RIP
I like my plain everything, it’s how I think websites should look like: blue links, obvious navigation, brain-dead layout, not trying to re-invent the wheel, content highlighted above all else, plus I’m obsessed with load time. I’m so 1998.
But it’s time. Now to give KeriBlog the proper packaging it deserves.
Then repeat the process 10 more times.
I have 12 in total.
KeriNetwork!
Choosing a new theme is a really big deal. What if stuff breaks when you install it? Are you sure the people building it will update it? Because if not, or if they go out of business, you now have a big blog security problem.
Below is an email I wrote to my friend who’s helping me with the install.
It’s the thought process behind it all.
(new theme is by ThemeFuse)
If you need a sysadmin… or anything done in: C/C++, Python, Matlab/Symulink, html/php/css/javascript, then shell scripting like bash… or Matlab (!)… you want @NodeZero_Linux
Please don’t insult him by asking for anything free, and besides, his rates are already too low if you ask me ;)
Thanks buddy XO
Cool, eh?!
It’s the sleeping car alley on an Amtrack train (Amtrack in USA = VIA in CDN). I gotta say it’s much cheaper down here though; $50 will get you quite far.
It was a 10 hour journey.
That’s a very long time to sit still.
It’s amazing really, everything you need in a 3.5′ x 7′ foot room.
Not being sarcastic… there’s people in Japan who live full time in spaces half this size. With everything they own. They make me and my trunk look like pansies.
Japan is on my travel list oh we are so going.
Hi hi.
The dining car.
Like I told the guys, “I can’t believe you served me this on a train”.
This was warm.
While on the topic of food, my next new blog is almost ready to be launched, hopefully by the week’s end.
It’s just a little blog, but the name, I know, HA.
Lastly, I’m back online.
Going online at a security conference is always risky. And I don’t know if you’ve ever rebuilt a computer after it’s been compromised, but the time that takes far out-weighs missing a couple days of internetting. More about that later over at SmartenUpInternet.com.
This is how I’ve been connecting since I arrived January 1… it’s called a MiFi, get it?
It’s a personal internet connection. We use our phones as HotSpots in Canada to connect. I love this thing. I’m using it to blog right now.
Nice to be back online! Nice to be in the same place for two weeks.
I’ll leave you with this photo ahahahahah so many easy jokes.
Preparing the area to film.
An explorer forever.
It’s a fanny pack.
It’s an Olympus PEN.
TTYL!
Wasn’t totally my fault, although it was my flight so really, who else’s fault could it be?
Regardless, here’s exactly how I felt about it for 3 minutes.
You’d have not wanted to be around me during those minutes. Then I was over it.
What else are you going to do?
Get to know Concourse E, that’s what!!
When I left for this trip I should have started an “Airports” category, it would have so many posts already.
I will make one now….. tada! Now I have a new blog category, Airports.
Then I perused every single gadget store I could find.
I man-handle every single item.
Then I sat around and it was boring and fine, the plane drove me home, the end.
