Italian web sites hacked

I've just heard on the BBC news that Italian web sites (mostly Tourist sites) have been attacked by malware. This is in order to find the user names and passwords for bank account details.
The Italians are trying to find all domains affected and informing clients.

Another way to protect detection of keyword strokes is to download a keyboard which sits on your computer.

You should look at my keeping your computer secure from malware and viruses.

Okay so here's the new template

Not too sure about this template. I like the colours, but I'd prefer my profile and other elements not permitted to go down the left side.

Today I got up, which, as I'm usually in a coma, is a feat in itself. I checked how many came to my web site after sending out a newsletter. Then I got on a roll, cleaning up: washing, dishes, floors.

I was inspired by a TV program last night which was about an Australian runner who, at the age of 60, is the fastest runner in the world for his age. I decided I was going to walk up to the shop to buy my fags, my only vice. The blood started to move round the body and as it was cold, and I wore warm jumpers and a coat, when I got back to my heated house I had to strip off for the rest of the night.

That's it for now. I'm going to have to find some links before I post, since one cannot navigate away from this post.

Wow! Am I the last to know

So Google has taken over Blogger.com. Okay, I've got 3 google accounts. No worries.
I've just been there wondering why my sitemap wasn't being verified. The site map for another site I mean. I had been using another sitemap generator which google doesn't like. I think it is more for a blog than a web site.
Anyway, I searched for how to make a google sitemap and found another generator which said it was a google sitemap generator. It does look different.
I've been looking for a web gallery maker for a friend too. There don't seem to be too many good free ones. I'm loathe to spend money for my web site as it concentrates on free software and tutorials.

I have just found out about Firefox add-ons though.
I've listed the add-ons which assist web designers.
Firefox add-ons

I've used them myself too. Quite useful.

I like the little addition of 'labels for post'
And I've added the bookmark widget to my blog. It allows users to add to many social network sites and gives you statistics. However, the statistics are being offered free only for now. That might change in the future.

You should see the bookmark widget on the right.


My son and his girlfriend have been living together for 4 months now.
My son also has a 6 hour exam tomorrow (today) for Physics Honours. Poor thing.
That's what he needs from us for still. Help to soothe his nerves and our devoted interest in his academic progress.
