Show 162 - David, you need to create a new website!

Your site has vulnerabilities and needs to be taken down asap. Copy and paste your text data from the site into word docs then wipe this server and deploy a new CMS like Wordpress or Joomla with well tested themes and plugins. This machine has been compromised by multiple hackers and will continue to be abused until you take it down and get rid of the vulnerabilities that exist in your php source code. Good luck mate!

About Sticks & String and me

G’day all. I’m David Reidy, a Australian bloke who lives in the Blue Mountains two hours west of Sydney, and knits and podcasts about knitting. Away from the sticks and string, I’m an astrophysicist who now teaches high school. In my knitting and podcasting endeavours I am assisted by my two Burmese cats, Tikka and Tiger.

The Sticks and String podcast appears weekly, so look for a new show each weekend.

If you’d like to keep up-to-date with what’s going on in this blog, you can subscribe to the feed here (don’t worry, it’s free)

If you’d like to automatically receive each new podcast as it is released, you can use iTunes, or put this feed in your podcatcher.

Season 11 will start 3 May and will include all the wonderful things from the Sydney Royal Easter Show.

(Dates and themes are subject to change, of course)

The RSS feeds for the blog and the podcast should show up in your browser feed list.
