looking forward and backwards at times{4}
this post is more about testing the wordpress system, my hosting database and you dear reader. i’ve spent the last day in purgatory, offline and trouser-less in my own database if you know what i mean. someone was rather personal ( in a biological sense ) and didn’t even kiss me or take me dancing first. bugger !!
so today is a day for relaxing and tinkering as i get back online, sending my bride to work ( how else do think i can afford my lifestyle ) and contemplate the known and unknown universe.
will tbaoo survive in this recent hacking attack, i think so, will it suffer another attack ? maybe, maybe not as i’ve loaded myself up with website defender, a wordpress plugin that seems to offer a whole load of goodies. this will i hope restrict or at least dampen the efforts of the ever sneaky hacking types. why do you want to hurt me ? … bugger !!

while tapping away here in my unique lifestyle, i ask with my trousers back on, what has the best chance of surviving the beginning of a new year and the world’s greatest silly season ? do you have shares, a mortgage, superannuation, an investment property, a job, a business, good health or indeed a marriage ?
i truly hope, even though i’m such a cynical bastard, that all of these things survive through 2012. europe is a freak’n mess, america is even worse for other reasons but luckily australia’s economy seems to be hanging in there, for now. it’s selfish i know.
i know that nothing is completely safe, but i’ll keep going forward and look back only when it’s needed. the most important thing, is that you are happy, have someone to love, have pets, are careful, considerate, loving, humble, good looking, fair, open, honest, communicative, well fed, generous and content. if you have most of those attributes, well in my mind at least, you’re doing very well and likely to continue to be well.
oh and to the evil hackers – bugger off !!

I’m glad you’re hanging in there. No, we may not have everything what we do have is a lot better than nothing! All the best for the new year and beyond!

Trudging elbow-deep in a WordPress recovery process after a hack is no way to spend the last gasp of 2011. Sorry you had that happen to you.
And I think you’ve pegged it with your last bit there–anyone sporting even just some of those attributes is truly living well.
