Arghh, I’ve been malwared

My sites got hacked and somebody added this javascript injection. Thusly, google flagged my site, followed by my provider. Unfortunately it’s a chicken or egg thing where once they suspended the site via html, I couldn’t manage my blogsite to prepare it for upgrade. Fortunately, the site knew the situation, unsuspended me and I *think*… Read More »

Echo (again)?

Before I forget, I must post that yet again, Sean and I went to another Echo concert. This time at the Phoenix in Toronto. I’m not certain, but I think this is the first venue I ever saw the band about 12 years ago with Greg. I must say it hasn’t changed much. But that’s… Read More »

Cheap Gas!

I bought gas at 93 cents today. And with my gas card I worked it down to 88 cents! Long live the recession!

James reborn?

My brother Luc just informed me that James has a new album on the market. Time to skip out and check it out! More to come on that one. What troubles me slightly is that I had no idea they were producing again. What has happened to me?

My Nazareth Story

I’ve been adding (slowly) to my blog page about songs that invoke vivid memories of my past. While I was scrolling through the Nazareth part of my brain, I remembered a couple of funny things that I just have to repeat here: “You’d think that these memories should come out of high school or even… Read More »
