I was just looking at our last addition to the downloads section and I see in the upgrade to the new site the download section broke. All you would see when trying to download a file was a white page with the files name :/ That was a simple fix but I want to apologize to anyone who had been trying to download one of the files. All is back to good now 
About a week ago we had noticed the image server we were using for the album art covers was failing. Looking into it we found that the image server must be under a high load and there really is not too much we could do about that since we do not own or control that server so we decided to add a new image server of our own to even out the load from all the album art covers. During the process though we had to shift the load somewhere since the image server was down about 80% of the time. I set up a small private server that handled the image requests until we could get this all worked out.
So some twit(or bot) attempted an SQL attack against our site. SQL Injection is a form of Code injection. There are many types of code injection. The definition of XSS includes SQL Injection as one of the methods.
We have just added a new download for everyone. A php script that updates your website with your listening statistics and then gives example to output the information in your website to show your most recently played tracks without the need for a 3rd party.

I noticed about a week or two ago that the http://browserreport.com image for tracking browser statistics has been broken. Did not think to much of it, just figured the server was under high load or whatever. So I stopped over to their site the other day to check it out and maybe find out what the problem was. I found when trying to access the image directly I see a php error that says the image create function that was being used was undefined. This means either they moved to a new server and this extension is not enabled in php or that their host disabled it or something to that effect. AT first I figured it was just a little boo boo. Nope still no change.
This is going to a bit a bit of an odd post but recently I bought a webkinz for my daughter. When the thing arrived I was a bit disappointed. They darn thing was a dollar store stuffed animal that cost $20.00 Just the same though with it came use of this website for webkinz where the kids are supposed to be able to go and create and play with their webkinz in a virtual world.
We have all encountered them. Most are very poorly done and even though they do stop some Spam from getting through they stop a lot more legitimate users than you would be happy with if you only knew you lost them due to the Captcha.
Just before I last went to bed I had been on the phone with a good friend of mine and a fellow programmer. We had been discussing the days work and the progress we had made for the day. We discussed the web shop we have been building for some time now and he took a tour through the pages, options and features that the shop includes.

I don’t have any solid details just yet but there was just a 17 year old boy murdered a few blocks from here in downtown Rutland, VT. Apparently at about 4:30 PM a man in his early 20’s named John Bruno just walked up behind this poor boy and slit his throat. This happened right near our Depot Park near Wall-mart. The boy passed on shortly after enroute to the hospital. We do not have any details as to who this boy was but our sympathies go out to his family
