This is a warning to all of internet bloggers. Please, please and please backup your database(s) each time you publish new posts to your website. I don’t want what had happen to me maybe someday will happen to you.
Recently, my site has problem with 403 error in all subfolders under cypherhackz.net including subdomains. At first, I thought I did something wrong but I’m sure I didn’t edit any permissions that will give me the 403 Forbidden page. So I asked my hosting provider to check it out. After awhile, they reply my email and said that they have fixed the problem and my site is ready to go.
So I open up my site then I got this page:
My first impression when read this was shock, angry, frust, sad, everything negatives came into my mind. I don’t know what had happen to my database. Why it got disappeared? I don’t want to blame my hostee. I don’t want to blame anyone. Although I have some backup files but my last backup was 21st September. And it quite old. Hmm… Want or not, I have to use the backup file.
So my advice to those who read this is, always backup your databases. Don’t let this happen to you. Thanks you for your time… [tags]backup, tips, secure[/tags]
ps: Is my site load slower than before?
For this time site poll question is, do you have Friendster account?
I do have my own Friendster account. With Friendster, not only you can keep in touch with your friends, you also can make new friends. Beside than that, you also can see their profile, what they like, who are their members, are they still available or not and many much more.
With more than 30 million members, Friendster is the best way to stay in touch with your friends and it’s the fastest way to discover the people and things that matter to you most.
You also can give them testimonial if you want to. See on my profile. I have about 500 testimonials (and still growing) that I got from my friends. You can write anything you want to your friends and they will reply back your testimonial. The concept used here same like blogging. You give comments and you will get comments. 
Ok. Back to the topic. Do you have Friendster account? Take the vote now. 
ps: If you don’t mind, add me as your friend.
Here is the result from the poll: [tags]internet browser, site poll, web browser[/tags]
From the graph we can see that many of my site visitors using Firefox as their primary Internet browser. As my self, I also use Firefox because it is much better than other browsers. Besides, I have familiar with it. 
I also use Opera. Opera is good in speed but it can’t support some of javascripts. And I also can’t login to my site if I use Opera. I don’t know why. The error that I get saying that the precondition is failed. 
For this time site poll question is, what internet browser you are using? I have put 5 answers but you can add up your own if your browser does not list there.
I personally use Firefox. But sometimes I use Opera for download because in Firefox, you can’t resume your downloads if there is a problem occur. Beside than that, Opera is the fastest web browser in the world [Opera still the fastest web browser]. Lol…
So what’s yours? [tags]site poll, internet browser, web browser[/tags]
Actually I want to announce about this before I back to UTM but my site was down so I can’t publish this post before I leave.
I am now in UTM and this post was published from CICT. I have to back to UTM cause I will going for 10 days camp in Muar, Johor. The camp will start on this 21st June and will end on 30th June. For 10 days I can’t update my site and thats mean CypherHackz.Net will have his rest for awhile.
Anyway, CypherHackz.Net will continue his routine after I back from the camp.. So please come back after 30th June. Or you can get free updates by subscribe to my site feed or by email subscription. You can also use the subscription form at the top of the sidebar.
Hope I will see you all on this 1st July 2006. Bye!
If you have read my post about permalinks structure problem, I just want to let you know that the problem has been fixed. Thanks to Zeo for his help.
He told me to remove file 403.shtml from my site directory. After I removed it (actually I just renamed it to another name), now I can view date archives without getting the 403 error page:
http://www.cypherhackz.net/archives/2006/06/14/
I don’t know why 403.shtml can caused the problem. At first, I thought it caused by wrong parameters in .htaccess file but it wasn’t it.
Anyway, I am happy my site is ok now. [tags]permalinks, permalinks structure[/tags]
While waiting for Brazil and Crotia match (in Malaysia the game start at 3 am), I try to fix my site permalinks structure problem. Actually this problem happen last week, I’m not sure when it started. Before or after I upgraded my Wordpress. I don’t think this problem caused by my plugin because I have try diactivated all the plugins but nothing help there.
The problem is, if I go to this link:
http://www.cypherhackz.net/archives/2006/06/13/
I will get 403 Forbidden error page and I can’t view my posts on that day. But if I remove the forward-slash, I can view and see the posts. Like this:

I just found new adsense format on my site today. Maybe some of you have seen it on somewhere else or maybe on your site, but this is the first time it happen to my site and I saw it by myself.
The ads combine with adblock and adlink. I think I have seen this in Problogger.Net. Darren has posted the samething like this on his site if I’m not mistaken.
I’m just wonder when will Google make inline text ads… [tags]adsense, google, google adsense, internet[/tags]
There are 18 peoples have voted. Thanks for your time.
From the graph above we can divide it into two categories: Personal Site and Non-Personal Site.
For Personal Site, almost site owners not use Shoutbox on their site. This is different from what I’ve thought before. I thought personal site will mostly have shoutbox because they can interact with their regular site visitors which mostly are their friends.
And again, I’m wrong. I thought not many non-personal site will use shoutbox but from the graph, there are 2 my site visitors have voted Yes for Non-Personal Site. But the difference Yes (Non-Personal Site) and No (Non-Personal Site) is not big anyway. [tags]site poll, poll of this week[/tags]
I will close this week site poll today. You have about 6 hours before I close it. It is not necessary to vote but at least I know you have participate and visit my site.
So for those who not yet vote, you can vote it now. The site poll is on the sidebar. Thank you! [tags]site poll, poll of the week[/tags]
