Blog rolls are hosed

Argggg… Something happened overnight and my blogrolls have gotten hosed – everything listed has been replaced by a single link… not sure if blogrolling got hacked or if its just a bug but until it gets fixed I’m pulling mine…

Bums me out.. thats where I kept my links to all my favorite blogs… Arggggggggg

UPDATE: Looks like blogrolling.com got hacked over the weekend.. Bummer… They’ve restored from backup and I’m gonna see about exporting my rolls so I don’t loose my links to y’all..

Ugg… Do ya ever get the feeling that there is a shocking lack of morals and respect on the loose these days? Between the frequent mop-up I have to do from comment spam, the amount of time we ALL waste with email spam, and hackers pulling stunts like this I’m starting to get really angry (ok.. well not starting). I’ve been sorely tempted to disable comments on my blog cuz of this but thats part of what I enjoy about blogging is the interaction. I’ve heard all the hacker and spammer justification for why they feel they have the right to pull these stunts and, frankly, its all bullshit. Just because our legal system hasn’t caught up with technology (and probably never will) doesn’t give them the moral right to invade our privacy in cyberspace any more than it gives them the right to crawl through the windows of our house… It is all a violation and a simple lack of human respect for other people that they get away with because they’re protected hiding behind their keyboards in some remote location.

Uggg…Sorry… Just venting… this kind of thing just REALLY pisses me off.

Oh.. And thanks to the folks at blogrolling for mopping up after this mess – they shouldn’t have to and I wish I could help them out somehow… Good luck

Weekly Wrap-UP # 76 – Travel

1. What is the most essential item you include in your suitcase when you travel? Why? Toothbrush and ID (Passport most times)… Toothbrush cuz ya gotta be lookin your best wherever you are – and ID in case you get your tail in the gate and forget who ya are! :):)
   
2. What is the least essential item you include in your suitcase when you travel? Why? A heavy jacket – layers always works for me and it just takes up room… its all about traveling light.. every time I’ve brought more than my leather jacket I’ve never worn it..
   
3. How early do you start packing for a big trip (say, a week)? Why so early or so late? I always pack the night before (or the morning of if its an afternoon flight.. Otherwise I find that I just have to bust into what I’ve packed and re-do it anyway so whats the point… If its a big trip I make lists ahead of time but don’t pack till the last minute.
   
4. What do you pack in your carry-on bag if you’re flying? If you’ve never flown, estimate what you’d pack. I pack a few toiletries (in case my flgihts get f**ked up and I need to freshen up – and I take a lot of entertainment (I get bored easily).. Books.. magazines.. cards… computer… iPod… If its a shorter flight usually just a book or two..
   
5. What kind of stuff do you (or would you) pack if you were traveling with a child for a three-hour flight? Don’t have a kid but I’d imagine I’d pack the same that I pack for me since I have the same attention issues that kids do! 🙂 – lots of distractions and enterainment.. If it was a baby I’d also include the usual baby stuff – food / formula / diapers… If it were a toddler or young elementary age kid I’d probably add some candy or chewing gum – helps with the pressure changes during take off and landing..
