This morning and part of the afternoon some idiots have been trying to hack my website.
They did this via brute force attacks on the node/add paths of my site in hopes to get past the login.
Of course this didn't work.

However, what did happen was that they didn't just bashed my site, nope, they bashed it so fast and obviously that the load on the shared hosting servers climbed to 8. Of course these morons didn't try to be subtle so soon enough alarms were triggered with the hosting company who in turn just restarted apache and mysql and banned the ips of the idiots trying to bash my site.

So, people, first of all, don't try brute force, it's the attack of the monkeys, of the script kiddo's who don't know how to do a proper hack. And, it's not only lame, it's also hurtful for everyone hosting on the IP of the site you are attacking because it is a mild form of DoS.
So, if you want to hack, be subtle, brute force will get you noticed and land you in jail. Plus, you are hurting other people then your intended target, this is never a good idea, not morally, but also not from the viewpoint of someone who wishes to hack a website.

So, if you want to use brute force, do it slowly without triggering a high load on the server, you will be less noticed. Unfortunately for most people, you probably will be noticed by me because I log all login attempts with invalid ID's or passwords. If I had the resources I would setup a sandbox for you people to practice in... But then again, the people bashing my site probably aren't interested in the fine art of hacking and security, they are interested in creating a spam platform on this website, or use it to infect people with viruses. And that is something I can't allow.

So sorry mister spammer, your attempts have been logged and your providers (yes both of them) have been notified, so probably you will loose at least two of your zombies from which to try something like this again.

Happy new year for everyone who is not a spammer!

"Where can I find a heart

without a single scar?"

the wind asks me as it blows

smoothly past my ear.

I don't happen to have

a decent answer handy,

just that each of us has one life

which we should live to the fullest.

The shadow that struck me down

was just a little too blue,

and I heard it tell me to paint

the same summers's light a different way.

Let your drive to move forward

grow strong on this path you've chosen,

so that one day we can make each other shine again.

I want you to come to me without clouds,

so don't hate the rain.

I want you to speak to me without using lies,

because that just makes me feel lonely.

Your body exists so that it may carry the love

hidden deep inside it,

forever

and ever

ever since the day you were born.

You and me and everyone, absolutely everyone,

are wandering, lost because we can't put it into words,

moving forward so that one day our feelings will cross the gap.

Een nieuw persoon uit Bleach, Riruka. Ik heb zelf weinig op of aanmerkingen maar vind hem gewoon aardig gelukt.
Zitten wel wat vlekken op met dank aan Noobie die aandacht wou :)

Weer een Bleach intro:

I think of all the things I wish I could tell you
before you go somewhere far away,
as today, once again, we spend time
laughing together, and I feel my chest hurt.
A spring breeze blows tonight.
I don't want to let you go.
That's the kind of thing I think,
but somehow I can't say it right.
I say goodbye to my thoughts of tomorrow
as I walk alone beneath the rows of trees.
And suddenly I recall the remnants of my dreams.
The dancing flower petals flutter in the breeze
as they slip into my heart through the gaps.
All I can do is face my feelings.
No matter what kind of pain
comes to attack my heart again,
I'm going to find out what's beyond that closed door.

De laatste tijd schets ik veel en maak minder echte tekeningen. Dit schetsen is vooral om dingen uit te proberen en een beetje beter onder de knie te krijgen.

Omdat sommige mensen mijn schetsen ook de moeite waard vonden heb ik nu een gallery gemaakt op deze site waarik de betere schetsen in heb gezet.

Deze schetsen zijn probeersels of mislukt tekeningen dus doe me een lol en ga geen kritiek leveren op de fouten die er in zitten, ik weet dat ze er in zitten, daarom zijn ze nooit voorbij het schets stadium gekomen

Onderbouwende kritiek met tips erbij is wel welkom natuurlijk.

In ieder geval is hier een overzicht van mijn schetsen te vinden, klik op een schets om de tekst erbij te zien en/of een comment achter te laten.
