As many of you know, my ongoing beef with fortune cookies is that they are rarely fortunes anymore.  However, the one I got yesterday was so absurd it made my laugh out loud.

Today is an ideal time to water your personal garden.

I'm pretty sure that this is some kind of reference to masturbation.  Trust me, my personal garden gets plenty of watering.  I don't really need a special day.  But hey, if it's an ideal time, I'll take it.

As many of you know, I was hacked recently.  Turns out there was a pretty whopping vulnerability in BlogEngine.NET which allowed people to get at you users.xml file.  To compound things, everything in this file, including passwords, was clear text.  Not good.

Since then, I have downloaded the patched version.  After looking at the code, I can't believe no one figured this out sooner.  But, live and learn. 

The patch prevents the security hole that allowed people to get at your user files, but the user files are still in clear text.  Still not enough, if you ask me.  So, I decided to add in some of my own code, so that the passwords are stored as hashes.  That way, no one looking at that file could ever figure them out.  Of course, this makes the passwords unrecoverable, but since I control the darn server, I don't see this as a problem.

I've also taken this time to update my theme, burn my feed through Feed Burner, and to add Google Analytics code to my site.  Time to Rock On!
