Her younger brother, now a high school senior deciding where he’d like to go, will head “either east, west or to McGill”—unusual academic options, but in keeping with what he wants from his university experience. “East would suit him because it’s chill, out west he could be a ski bum,” says Alexandra, who explains her little brother wants to study hard, but is also looking for a good time—which rules out U of T, a school with an academic reputation that can be a bit of a killjoy. Or, as Alexandra puts it—she asked that her real name not be used in this article, and broached the topic of race at universities hesitantly—a “reputation of being Asian.” ]]> Fri, 12 Nov 2010 07:45:00 -0700 http://keif.name/items/view/19472/yellow-peril-20 Community Pirating http://keif.name/items/view/9336/community-pirating ]]> Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:30:00 -0700 http://keif.name/items/view/9336/community-pirating 5 Things Worth Knowing About Coffee http://keif.name/items/view/8706/5-things-worth-knowing-about-coffee ]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:38:00 -0700 http://keif.name/items/view/8706/5-things-worth-knowing-about-coffee Logan.

Over the past few days, I’ve been having a helluva time with Dreamhost (my host) and a slow connection. I tweeted about it. A lot. Twitter helps me vent, m’kay? OMG, like what did you do? Well, I figured Dreamhost had bitten off more than it could chew - and I still wonder about it, since they’re offering “unlimited everything” yet my server is under constant overload. For months. Once it was finally back up, and I installed a new theme (see my footer? Thesis? Very cool), I started poking around in my log files because my brand-spankin’-new theme was being all screwy. That’s when I noticed this little gem: [Sat Sep 06 22:20:11 2008] [error] [client 75.127.70.16] mod_security: Access denied with code 503.

Hackers? Hardly. I believe the term is “script kiddies” - I’m no hacker by any means myself, but from what I dug up about their “attack” it was using a cheap-ass script to try and execute vulnerabilities. And I noticed SquirrelCart in there as well - how the hell can I not escape Squirrel Cart? Why don’t clients ever listen when you say “it would be beneficial to upgrade?” I digress… The “Hackers” were UNITED ALBANIANS aka ALBOSS PARADISE and a quick google search turns up a number of other failed attempts:

Server Cracked/hacked Kiddie Script Alboss @ A Daily Rant - I’m really digging this blog. It cracks me up, and it’s informative.
