Speaking of taking it up the ass, my blog has been attacked with malware once again. I got an email from SiteLock saying they found malware during a recent scan of LTG. And this morning, a commenter told me: “You’ve got another malicious plug-in or another bit of malware in WordPress. I’m being redirected to a malicious website like several weeks ago with a scam 1-800 Windows support number.” Shit! Why bother with scamming a little-read site like mine? Sorry for any trouble you encountered.
So, this morning, I contacted SiteLock and was told I needed to upgrade my security protection. With the premium package, they would remove the malware. Okay, let’s do it. Nope, I had to do the upgrade through HostGator, where my blog resides. So, I got there and chatted with another customer service rep.
No website is completely safe, regardless of how long it’s been up and running without issues. Hackers are constantly developing new techniques, and what might have been a secure website a few years ago could be vulnerable today.
I highly recommend upgrading your security service to the *Sitelock Prevent Plus* for just $155.76.
They will thoroughly remove all malware from your website, fix any existing vulnerabilities, and implement safeguards to prevent future attacks.
Not having any other options, I spent the money. I’m supposed to be contacted before they implement the fix, but I haven’t heard anything yet. I’m told it can take six hours or more to do the work, during which time my blog won’t be accessible. So, heads up if you don’t hear from me.
There was a good time yesterday at The Rite Spot. Swan’s female friends gathered for some soju-fueled fun, something they do once a month or so. It was Swan’s turn to host, and the gals said they were looking forward to the rooftop views. Based on my observations, they were not disappointed.
When one of the girls had to leave, Scott and I caught a ride on her trike into town. The party had started before 3 pm, and it was nearly six now. Guys at a girls’ event just don’t fit in, sorta like a tranny in the women’s restroom, and we’d had enough. We popped into Alley Cats for a beer, and were joined by Troy, Simon, and Jim. It was trivia night at the bar, and even though I wasn’t participating, trying to think of the answers was making my brain hurt. So, when I was done with my beer, I said goodbye and wandered off up the highway. I got as far as It Doesn’t Matter before I needed to rehydrate.
A couple of beers later, I’d had enough and grabbed a trike for home. The party was still in full swing upstairs, so I made a brief appearance before saying goodnight and hitting the sack. Swan said the girls left around ten and were going to do a barhop. Damn, I miss the days when I had that kind of staying power.
Everyone seemed to have a good time, and Swan was happy with the event. It’s good to be alive.
It’s on to June 2015 in the LTG archives. Upon my re-employment after nearly five years of retirement, I wrote this post listing all the jobs I had held throughout my life. For anyone who says my blog is worthless, I’d beg to differ. I would never have remembered some of these if I hadn’t written them down while my brain was still mostly functional.
Gonna lighten things up with today’s YouTube video—three minutes of jokes. I can’t promise they are funny, but see how you react.
I can’t say these are any better:
That’s all I’ve got for today.
