Bloglines and my hacked Wordpress blog

My blog was hacked due to a security bug in Wordpress. I had links to viagra and cialis everywhere. I had no idea until someone told me about a week later. Unfortunately, the person who hacked my blog also screwed with my feed and made it invalid. Bloglines, in what is a semi-reasonable decision, decided to remove the blog after a few days. But now I lost my 100 some Bloglines subscribers!

Dave’s Blog

Dave Rosenberg, our (MuleSource’s) blogging and podcasting fiend has a new blog up for his funny, snarky comments about the industry.

New blogs I’m addicted to, are kind of weird, and have nothing to do with tech

• Morbid Anatomy
• Bioephemera (check out these guys)
  
• Who killed Bambi

Fake Steve

Ahhh crap - Fake Steve has been revealed and he works for Forbes. I was hoping the revealing would be more dramatic than this. Maybe involving lawsuits. Will it keep its charm? Or will it turn into a Forbes marketing ploy? Whatever the outcome, Jaysus, we need more posts with Bono!

Dopplr

I started using to Dopplr to track all my trips and my friend’s trips. The interface kinda sucks, but my life is still better off with it than without it. My #1 feature wish is for the ability to give trips names. I.e. get Septemeber 13 & 14 to be called “JavaZone” instead of “Oslo, Norway” in my calendar.

I have several invites if people want to join up. I recommend it especially if you travel a lot and like to see who will be where you’re travelling. If you’re already on there, add me as a fellow traveller!

Conference Season

Speaking of travelling, there are too many conferences coming up: JavaZone, QCon, Oredev, ApacheCon US, OS Summit Asia, and possibly others…

CXF 2.0.1

We’re voting on it right now. Well technically the Apache Incubator PMC members are voting on it. Hopefully it will pass in a day or two. If all goes well we’ll have a follow up release with bug fixes and new features in under 5 weeks! Pretty good, eh?

Its also our one year anniversary - check out Dan Kulp’s retrospective for a good recap!
