My site got hacked earlier today, courtesy of the big gaping security hole that turned up in Joomla! 1.5 a few days ago. Normally I'm quick to apply such security updates, but I had a few other updates in mind too so I was putting it off for a few days. Getting hacked is a new experience for me, so that'll teach me to be so casual in future! It will also teach me to make backups more often, but fortunately the data hadn't actually been deleted. I found all the articles were still in the database only with the state field changed to -2, so if anybody else falls victim to this same attack (it seems to be scripted so there are probably quite a few), you can fix your database as follows: |

XHTML has been around long enough now that most people have heard of it, and most web developers know what to do to ensure their code produces valid XHTML. You will often see little notes in page footers claiming "Valid XHTML" or similar, and often enough, it even is valid XHTML. Unfortunately, however, the overwhelming majority of valid XHTML web pages might as well not be, because the browser has no idea that they are, and treats them as the bog-standard tag soup anyway.

Note: See separate article here for help on installing this driver.I had some wireless problems yesterday, with the r8180 module seemingly missing from Ubuntu Hardy. The only source I had available was the driver from the Realtek website (revision 1027), which didn't want to compile on the 2.6.24 kernel, so I had to fix it myself first. Now that I'm back online, I discovered this project using the mac80211 framework in the new kernels, which seems to be the way forward for this driver, but I've uploaded the patch I used here in case somebody finds it useful.
