we have met the enemy and he is us

Up, down, up, down. The trojan horse infection at my ISP has slowed the blogging down. I've had several posts lost in restoring my site to an earlier version to get rid of the infection. This afternoon the web system administrator finally found out where the trojan horse was getting into the system. It was from a shopping cart script on some of my ecommerce websites. That was embarrassing. I don't use that script any more but some of my older sites still had it. The good news is that we at least know the problem and have a solution. My host is willing to put up with the attacks as long as I am working to get rid of the script. The script was last modified in 1998 and hasn't been updated. The bad news is that I am going to be real busy this week redoing those sites. I will try to get some new posts up. There is no shortage of interetesting things going on. Can you say Karl Rove? I've also been making progress on the photography front. Life has been a like drinking from a fire hose. Will somebody please turn the water off!?
