October 2006


My VM was accessed by people unknown…I got an email from my hosting company stating that i was doing an exessive amount of probes on other servers… I quickly logged in and found someone was using an account that i created..Well its the first time it happened.. prolly won’t be the last but it thought me to be more careful when creating accounts…

I reloaded(installed) my VM from scratch,(I made a backup before i did).

it took me 2 hours to get it reconfigured again. Considering i only really host my blog and not much private date is keep here, I should be ok..

On other news… I’m off the czech on monday.. I’m sure i’ll have great fun.. I haven’t started packing yet…

The Czech language is, to me one of the hardest languages i’ve ever tried to learn.. I’m not talking about been fluent, Just a few phrases here and there…. “enough to get by” over the last 4 weeks i’ve learned maybe a handful, Not much in the grand scheme of things but enuough so that i’m not classed as a dumb tourist(At least i’ve tried to make an effort). I must say, it’s a language you would have to grow up with to fully understand the in’s and out’s of the gammer… In any case I’m due to set off in 7 days…horay!

Finally booked my hostel, from the pictures on the website it looks like a nice place… Its fairly central but for 48 euro for 3 nights(private room) is a bargin :) picked up some czech Koruna 5,500 (about 200 euro). My trip is only 12 days away…. horay!
