was hacked, now back

Hello! Here are some updates:
I'm in grad school now. It's already kicking my ass. I'm taking classes with such awesome professors: R. Luke DuBois (from Cycling '74) and Mushon Zer Aviv (from Radical Software Group). This is going to be fun!

I'm procrastinating, though-- I have homework to finish, and I walked about 2 miles just to get coffee instead of getting straight to it. I *will* get to work as soon as I finish "blogging".

My site was hacked due to a very old wordpress install I let sit neglected on the server. (UPDATE YOUR WORDPRESSES, PEOPLE!) It wasn't a very clever hack or anything-- just annoying to clean up; left obfuscated code in all of my javascript and CSS files. Much thanks to this guy Kaleh from StopBadware.org who helped me troubleshoot. (Although I had the pleasure alone of discovering the infection in the CSS, tee hee.) Things are now ok.

Brooklyn is awesome. The apartment is sweet, my room has this natural quality about it that just makes me happy. I'm almost all settled in, but I need an armchair and some bookcases! (I think I'll buy those tomorrow with Jonny.) Went to a party at Mike and Vaughn's house last night, and saw all the kids I met through Noah who have become such good friends during my time in Cambridge. Curiously strong jello shots, some ghetto chicken nuggets with Brynn from the corner store, doing the Jane Fonda, you know, typical party stuff.

What else is new? Still working for CMCB, still working for YCF (and am in charge of the Electronic Exchange program there!), still working for NGCS, still freelancing, etc. Burning several candles at all of their ends. Due to the large amount of writing I'll have to do this year, the blog might morph into a kind of project-blog dedicated to my schoolwork. I'm sure you'll enjoy it,though! And maybe you can all help me out...
