Pre 9AM
I pull up in the car park at the same time. I know from speaking to Dave late last night that he has been focusing on the blog. Must have been a late one ..
9AM
Somewhat of a shadow hangs over the Bronco building as Dave considers exactly what to do about the blog. This isn’t just some attention seeking effort on his behalf, It’s more about the realities of how others can affect a blog without your knowledge. It leaves a bitter taste.I think of just how many other blogs that are out there and susceptible to exploits. Dave doesn’t want a Google baby sitter, time for a fresh start perhaps ?
10AM
Dave and Becky are sorting out flights for SES Chicago 2008 8-12th December. Some pretty good deals on flights considering rising fuel costs etc. I check out some client sites and get a few surprises in terms of content. The other Dan is doing a preliminary check on SEO for another site.
12AM
Dave is back on form he’s on the phone, talking to a client about effective calls to action. In amongst this he is profiling their site for usability.
3PM
Dave talking about in-house development tools and their functionality. He reminds us that the web is a huge place with so many opportunities out there. Dave is definately in creative mode, whilst still thinking back to the issue with this blog.
4.30PM
Its been a long week and Dave is talking to one of our web design team.
5.00PM
Dave at last gets away early to his wife and kids…what a week…

I take it Firewall Script was ineffective in protecting against this exploit?
*actual genuine curiosity*

Honestly Andy, Firewall Script would have protected me, as would a WP upgrade… both were on the ToDo list !
Sometimes I shake my head in the, Do what I say not what I do mantra !
I checked personally, I went to all of the client blog’s after this and everyone had been upgraded to the new Wordpress and after a little confusion why mine hadn’t been upgraded I was remindered that I wanted mine left so we could test the Moop system on it !

With all the singing, dancing and promotion of Firewall Script… I would have at least have thought you were running it on this blog… though I appreciate it falls under part of the well oiled DaveN machine and perhaps testing a new script on it would be foolish.
At the end of the day, shit happens, good on you for sticking with it, it’s not like you’ll lose any readership if/when you move…

I take it Dave didn’t have the afternoon off yesterday then for the marathon footie session that was on five?
