If you came to this site in the last month or two you might have noticed some weird things happening.  You look at a post and then you are redirected to some random site trying to sell you something.  Turns out I got hit by a hacker targeting WordPress on Media Temple.  Almost 1/4 of all WordPress blogs on my host got hacked..lucky me!  If you are running WordPress don’t forget to keep up with security updates and keep your server perms in check.  I haven’t posted on johnarroyo.com for months because of work, but that also meant I hadn’t properly updated my WordPress installation in a while either.

If you were one of the unlucky folks who got hit with some sort of injection or other attack, check out these posts.  They’re helpful in cleaning up your site and keeping it secure.  If you didn’t get hit, be proactive with your site security!

I'm Back

BTW I hope you like the new look of the site, I changed my theme and customized it a bit…it was about time for a refresh :-)

Bacon Vodka?

2009

Wow I was just turned on to this new liquor, Bacon Vodka!  I haven’t seen it yet, or tasted it, but I’m on the lookout.  It’s a company based out of Seattle who started making it for their bar.  Now they’ve packaged it up and have been growing.  I’m not a huge fan of bloody marys but a bloody bacon mary sounds pretty tasty.  Are any bars in California selling bacon cocktails?

A tasty treat found by This is Why You’re Fat.  It’s cone made of bacon filled with scrambled eggs and gravy with a biscuit on top.  Yum, More bacon to put pounds on you.

It’s an ad for a new kind of gum, but it’s pretty cool looking.  They have a flash website that goes through the back story a bit then has a simple live action game (like a luchador Dragon’s Lair).  The site is slow, but worth the wait, http://www.chlorophyllo.fr/en/index.html

The animated bacon man sings of the horrors of bacon. He just doesn’t know the beauty of the other white meat fried in it’s own grease.
