The blogging world has evolved and it’s purpose shifted. My dedication, drive, and passion have also changed. This is the best course of action for now.

Thank you all for visiting.

Here are my top 3 favorites that you will love to eat over and over again:
1. Grand Lux Cafe Chicago – Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookie
2. Doubletree Hotel – Chocolate Chip Cookie
3. Potbelly – Homemade Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie

Om nom nom…

Frankly Coppermine was just too vulnerable to attacks and the constant up-keep wasn’t worth its full functionality (that I never used).
But fear not, Coppermine is being replaced directly by WordPress. All your favorites can be found at: http://blog.thehua.com/wallpapers/

Coppermine had been a great component to this site, helping drive and retain traffic during the hay-days. Here’s a brief recap of gallery stats:

  • Time of inception: Aug 2004
  • Total albums: 5
  • Total pictures: 303
  • Total views: 1159412
  • Max view of any single picture: 24068
  • Max user concurrency: 34

Thanks again everyone, especially you Google.

A few hours ago I discovered my entire website was compromised by a hacker. Through investigation, it was determined that malicious attack scripts were uploaded to my fully patched Coppermine gallery and executed on the server.

The result of those scripts was a very unfortunate iFrame script injection to all of my *.php files – thus impacting the blog, gallery, and a slew of other functions. What’s worse, the injected script redirected users to a malicious website that installed the Exploit-ByteVerify virus through running a Java applet.

I strongly urge you to update to the latest virusscan definitions and do a thorough scan of your system.

I have since taken measures to fully revert my website to a previous backup that is exploit free. Everything is now up and operational. Again I apologize for this unfortunate circumstance.

HUA – Heard, Understood, Acknowledged
