Google Groups Killfile 2.0

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Okay, so it’s finally here with a lot (if not all) of the kinks worked out of it. It will now correctly block ignored users from the group index view when viewing titles only or titles with message text. It will also now correctly block the ignored user from the thread view (both from the thread index and the thread itself). To see who is on your ignore list click the Killfile menu option added to the Google Groups Navbar.

If you already have Firefox and GreaseMonkey click here for the new script

Otherwise click here for full install instructions

HACKED!

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Y’know you turn your back for a second and the pesky hackers come knocking on your door. Not keeping upto date with the latest WordPress goings on I was unaware that 2.0.2 had a HUGE security hole in it. Anyway I try to login yesterday and my entire site has been blown away and some git has linked some spam site from here. Luckily the great guys at Kattare were able to restore the database but quite a shock. Upgraded to 2.0.4 so hopefully I won’t see a repeat performance, that’ll teach me to run an app written in php….
