@Cubikmusik Cyclelogical (on the Quays) and Cycleways (Parnell St, more expensive) are good places to look. Haggle *lots* over price. in reply to Cubikmusik #
Morning folks. Good weekend all? #
@TomRaftery Any politician who has an Asimov quote front and centre on their site gets kudos from me :) Fair play @sendboyle! in reply to TomRaftery #
@JoannaSchaff Good wkend but got less done than I hoped. I guess that’s what weekdays are for! You been to Dracula Museum? http://is.gd/tpuz in reply to JoannaSchaff #
RT @donncha: Just added a “Don’t cache for logged in users” to wp-super-cache. << now you’re suckin diesel, fair play Donncha #
@donncha any intention to get this rolled into the main WP release at some point? in reply to donncha #
Wow, quickest sales call ever “we’re offering an exciting new discount of blah”, me: “I won’t be taking that up”, them: “ok, thanks, bye!” #
@ginader Sounds a bit extreme, school certs for a travel visa? in reply to ginader #
@ginader you moving over there? in reply to ginader #
@ginader I certainly did! Best of luck with all the docs and that, US immigration can be fun :) in reply to ginader #
@davidmcdonagh Yeah I guess it makes up for some of the stuff they’ve done that’s really pissed me off in the past – I’m neutral about em in reply to davidmcdonagh #
@TheLensman Archery, cool, who didn’t want to be Robin Hood when they were 10? btw I love your username in reply to TheLensman #
I wonder if Hugo Chávez has an Amazon affiliate account. http://bit.ly/q8bNj #
Sad day for Sun Microsystems. #
@irlchrusty Any news what’s gonna happen to Solaris? #
@TheLensman @gregeden Oracle buys Sun Microsystems http://bit.ly/fEMuT #
@littlequiz That monkey fella looks familar, where have I seen him before? #
One of my favourite authors is Piers Anthony. I must rebuild collection: Xanth, Tyrant, Adept & Mode series were brilliant http://is.gd/tv7F #
@cufa I only read the first 2 books in Mode, couldn’t get the rest of ‘em back before the internet existed. Tyrant/Adapt also superb. in reply to cufa #
@MichaelHyatt I think @littlequiz mentioned some issues earlier today with Following. Also check you have Javascript on http://is.gd/tvj4 in reply to MichaelHyatt #
@stepforth Interesting, they’re on #ppcrockstars for the interview. I agree with Guy Kawasaki critics, he seems an unrepentent spammer. in reply to stepforth #
@jamesdickey Nevermind MySQL, they’ll find somewhere for it in a DB company or it’ll get forked by original coders. But what about Solaris? in reply to jamesdickey #
Heading down to Clontarf, playing Terenure tonight in a cup semi. Hope to make the final, we have a good team. #
@feylya @hullaballoo84 sorry been offline most of today, catch you guys later! in reply to feylya #

#smbiz folks, hello from Dublin, Ireland. #
@DrFernKazlow @SternalMrktg Thanks guys. For more intro I run an internet marketing company, see http://is.gd/tLO5 http://is.gd/tLO8 #smbiz in reply to DrFernKazlow #
Hello #sbbuzz folks ! I’m going to stick with the #smbiz channel tonight only cos it’s late here in Dublin (1am) and I’m tired :) #
Q2: the whole point of social n/w’ing (real or online) is to make friends and get to know ppl. LI makes it easy to help people #smbiz #
@deniseoberry I don’t have enough time to spend much on groups/ans Q’s myself, but I do find people more credible when they do it #smbiz in reply to deniseoberry #
I had potential customer call me on Friday morning who got my number from LinkedIn – used it as Yellow Pages #smbiz #
Q3: I prefer personal name vs biz name. Build a personal rep, associate it with biz, you keep it if you sell /get job #smbiz #
@amylong lol, you been out tonight? :) in reply to amylong #
Q4 The “who” of your network is always more important than the “how many”, whether it’s LinkedIn, Twitter, FB, etc #smbiz #
@amylong Tut tut tut, and on a school night as well! Ah well, have to admit I had a pint in the club after the match this evening too. in reply to amylong #
@amylong life is tough! Then you’re auld and decrepit! There’s immediate onset when you hit 25 you know. Sigh… in reply to amylong #
Q5: Stay professional on LinkedIn. I mix personal/prof on Twitter under my name, keep business strictly on @WebsiteDoctor #smbiz #
Q6: Don’t forget, with all this online social NW’ing, to go and meet people in person. The power of S/N is *the intro*. #smbiz #
@andrewburnett I’m not an úbergeek? in reply to andrewburnett #
Q7 I’m not crazy about LI apps or FB apps. Tis main reason I prefer Twitter: simplicity. #smbiz #
@andrewburnett Been there (many times), bought the t-shirts, not worth it. Find a good base theme instead. #WordPress in reply to andrewburnett #
@karatcopy Defintely link all your social network profiles off your About & Contact pages. If you have bios, there too #smbiz in reply to karatcopy #
@TheRealAmz I’m on Earth, can I help? in reply to TheRealAmz #
@andrewburnett Shhhh, my designer wants to rip my limbs off for that. New design coming soon, honest! in reply to andrewburnett #
@andrewburnett http://is.gd/tM6w is a decent WP theme we’ve done. See main site http://is.gd/tM6W for comparison. in reply to andrewburnett #
@andrewburnett You play rugby? I’ll be in Neuchatel for the 7s tournament on Mai 29/30th in reply to andrewburnett #
Q10 A huge amount is just common sense & not being a spammer. Treat others as you want to be treated #smbiz #
@Hobo_Web G’Mornin’ Shaun. #
@andrewburnett HEC Final is Sat, 23 May – we’ll be over on Friday afternoon 22nd :) in reply to andrewburnett #
@therealamz Just finished evening down the club, not a woman in sight all night I’m afraid. Come over Fri b4 town? in reply to TheRealAmz #
G’night #smbiz folks. I’m at http://is.gd/tMfw – please connect. Cheers! #
@therealamz k/o around 7pm at Clontarf, hope to be in town by 10ish (you can drag me in earlier if you like). in reply to TheRealAmz #
@Hobo_Web Really? Might watch it at the wkend. Not a big movie buff. in reply to Hobo_Web #
Ok, t’th’that’s all folks! G’night all. #
Mornin’ folks, glorious day here in Dublin :) #
@MiriamAhern Not the best I’m afraid, we played well but were soundly beaten by a better side. in reply to MiriamAhern #
Off to meetings, back later. In the meantime, eyecandy: http://is.gd/tF2W #
Apple: would adding an extra mouse button and doing proper maximise really hurt that much? #
Support from some Irish hosting companies is absolutely atrocious. (Digiweb & Blacknight being very pleasant exceptions) #
Must add that Stephen from H365 was quick to respond on Twitter last week too. #
@Shiminay With the multi-touch mousepad it’s not too bad (2 finger touch is right-click). The maximise thing affects me more. in reply to Shiminay #
@topgold I hit about 25% of that last year, 5k is a lot of roaming! in reply to topgold #
Someone visiting a site of mine using IE 5.5, how 1999 is that?! #
@pageoneresults I’m HTTP 500′ing on URIvalet, it don’t like me at the moment. Nice site though #
@steveweber I gave up on aweber, too much of a PITA. in reply to steveweber #
@steveweber http://www.campaignmonitor.com is fantastic. in reply to steveweber #
@TheRealAmz A lot of clubs play informal tip rugby (no tags/refs/scorekeeping). We play in St Annes Park when the club closes for summer. in reply to TheRealAmz #
@therealamz Tip rugby’s a lot safer and less competitive. Check out if your club(s) do it – you’d definitely be welcome in St. Annes anyway in reply to TheRealAmz #
I missed this yesterday, very cool: Google release API for Google Analytics http://short.ie/aw95n0 #

@burkonsconsult “Technical writer with some/a lot/extensive Oracle experience”? in reply to burkonsconsult #

@nell_xo Kinsale 7s is May 1st/2nd. http://is.gd/tVkz And I’m going to the Neuchatel 7s in Switzerland May 30th http://is.gd/tVlv in reply to nell_xo #

@mneylon tis a strange one. btw I just reread the email I send your presales, it’s TLA hell, didn’t realise how bad it was at the time :) in reply to mneylon #
@mneylon I see the prob. After MIME-Version you add 4 headers, but inject blank lines between. Client sees 1st, parses it as end of header. in reply to mneylon #
@ruggerbits @nell_xo @myma1313 @nealschaffer @patmoroney @crusaderz4life Thanks for the #followfriday recommendation guys! in reply to ruggerbits #

RT @TomRaftery/@fkoehn/@leeprovoost Thousands of Indian farmers commit suicide cos of Monsanto’s GM crops http://bit.ly/BzH9O #
Great win for Clontarf down in Cork Con, will be playing Shannon in AIL final afaik #
Very sorry for O’Leary, fractured ankle means he misses Lions tour. Will Stringer make it? #

Think I’ll have to watch a replay of that Quins v Stade game sometime, looked incredible in those conditions #
RT @alanorourke: We give thanks to the real meaning of Easter & the man who gave his life so we can share choc eggs. Thanks mr Easter bunny. #
@TheMenace A bit like some folks on Twitter ;) …. Cheika doesn’t inspire my confidence in those interviews #
Tag for Irish side of Leinster v Harlequins? #LeiHar ? #LeinQuin ? #hcup #rugby #
@TheMenace we’ve never done that before – standard has been to have the Irish side first regardless of location in reply to TheMenace #
@yenwodt well he might, he’s a bit of an EOS or a Pillar Caffrey I think – good, but not great in reply to yenwodt #
@TheMenace I’d love if we could bring back David Knox, the completely obnoxious, arrogant, thoroughly dislikable genius in reply to TheMenace #
@yenwodt Ah sorry, ex-manager of Dublin GAA – he brought them to a consistent Leinster Championship standard but never to Sam Maguire in reply to yenwodt #
#lenhar hashtag for Irish side of Leinster-Quins, please RT #
C’mon Leinster now! #lenhar #
Big missed peno from Quins there. Very tight game so far, this one could go either way. #lenhar #
Dr. Phil has his kicking head on today, thank god for that #lenhar #
@TheMenace rofl. True, he’s been very poor whereever he’s been played. Cheiki moves him every week though #lenhar in reply to TheMenace #
@TheMenace Plenty of negatives, but one positive is Quins aren’t as good as I thought they might be #lenhar in reply to TheMenace #
Great defense by Leinster – good man Rocky go go #
@TheMenace Don’t agree, think they’ve been half-decent, defense has been incredible at times. Rocky, BOD playing great. Deserve 6-0 lead in reply to TheMenace #
@damienmulley What do you mean exactly? You could use the AdWords editor, something like that? in reply to damienmulley #
@TheMenace Need to see stats but I think we have a chance to win it (didn’t really believe it before the game). Kicking’s been dire though in reply to TheMenace #
@TheMenace I think we can take this. Here’s to hoping. #lenhar in reply to TheMenace #
Miss the conv, miss the conv…. Cmon Leinster #
Dean Richards is going to have to put on a jersey and go on himself soon. CMON LEINSTER #lenhar #
RT @aarons: Leinster fans are a credit to the province, great noise and colour << 100% agreed #
You fuckin beauty #
What a game #
@TheMenace Well, that sets us up nicely for the semi :) in reply to TheMenace #
@TheMenace Massive sour grapes from Dean Richards there, poor form. Have great respect for the rest of the Quins though, gave everything in reply to TheMenace #
@wiieb Manflu is not to be taken lightly! in reply to wiieb #

Gotta get outside while it’s still nice; on me bike out to Howth. #
I really like http://ie6update.com but there are some ethical questions. Great benefit vs misleading folks. What do you guys think? #
@sintaxasn Agreed, it’s totally misleading. However, it helps rid the web of IE6, which is a blight on developers everywhere. in reply to sintaxasn #
@bsneyd It updates to IE8, or at least that’s where they link it to in reply to bsneyd #
It’s a very beneficial thing for most users, particularly home/SOHO users. The only issue is enterprise… who should move off IE6 anyway. #
@ShaneKilcoyne Hey there! I’m watching Munster Connacht, going ok actually here in reply to ShaneKilcoyne #
@sintaxasn Somewhat agree with you. However, those companies should have moved off an insecure browser that is over 8 years old. in reply to sintaxasn #

@sintaxasn Correct, that’s 1 fact. *Another* fact is that companies are spending^W wasting millions supporting this POS. Not clear cut. in reply to sintaxasn #
Munster starting to open it up now, I think Connacht are in serious trouble here now. #magners #rugby #muncon #
@sintaxasn Ah well. I think #ie6update is going to do plenty of good, and also some harm to unfortunate co.’s who are behind the times. in reply to sintaxasn #
Poor old Connacht… 20-3 down at the break. Don’t see a comeback on the cards #magners #rugby #muncon #
@heavensgame Score was a great shocker, that. Reckon Leicester might be a bit concerned going into their semi against Cardiff now. in reply to heavensgame #
Well now! Try Connacht! 20-10 down now, after successful conversion #muncon #rugby #
Happy enough for Connacht, did well in the 2nd half, great to prevent Munster’s BP. #

Fixing Mikeyy and Other Twitter Security Holes

Posted by amd on

Apr 17 2009

security
4 Comments

If your twitter account starts sending messages by itself, or has weird stuff that you didn’t enter in your profile like text that reads “Mikeyy” or other names, then it’s highly likely that your account has been taken over via security hole (specifically a “cross-scripting bug”).

How It Happened

Your account was probably infected when you viewed the profile of somebody else infected in your web browser. Often these are hidden behind tinyurl and other URL shorteners – bear that in mind.

Fixing The Problem

To fix it, the first thing you should do is turn off JavaScript.
Go to your Twitter Account Settings (You may need to get your password reset via email before you can log in.)
Update your Name, Username, More info URL, One Line Bio. Press ‘Save‘!
Click the Password tab and change your password. Click ‘Change‘.
You should now be able to turn back on JavaScript.

Update: One other place I’ve heard there might be security issues is the background colours page of your profile design, so go and reset the colours in the design section. You need to have JavaScript on to do this – avoid visiting any other twitter profiles while fixing your design settings.

Preventing it Happening Again

To avoid problems with this in future, I recommend you use a secure browser (I recommend Firefox instead of Internet Explorer). You should either browse with Javascript turned off (which kinda sucks) or use a plugin like NoScript for Firefox which allows you pick and choose what you allow to run.

Did this help?

If this helped you out, follow me on twitter and send me a message. I get the warm fuzzies when I find out that these posts helped someone, somewhere.

If it didn’t help, then send me a message on Twitter or leave a comment below with your question – I might be able to help out with the issue!

Regards, Alastair.

Every employee & business contact is now google’d before interview : personal branding/reputation management is key #diymkt #
Actually I’ve heard of situations where parents have gotten in trouble because of something their kid has said on FaceSpaceBo: scary #diymkt #
@irlchrusty Haha, brilliant point. Of course it works the other way around in self-promotion :) #diymkt #

Leicester haven’t been in Bath’s 22, but they’re leading 6-nil #
Bath totally leaderless. Butch James misses a relatively easy peno, then they waste another. Where’s the captain sorting them out? #
Well – now that shuts me up. TRY BATH. 6-5 Leicester, Bath conversion to come #
Game has suddenly broken open. Bath lead 7-6 at HT. Big mistake by Leicester not to get a dropgoal there at end of half #

@nell_xo Sounds good, though don’t know if beach rugby will catch on in Ireland :) #rugby in reply to nell_xo #
@nell_xo In Dublin, which has a few beaches , but I think the rain would be the main problem with that idea (maybe not this summer) #rugby in reply to nell_xo #

C’mon Leinster! #

@czajkowski agreed, great game of #rugby so far, love if Leinster had some points on the board. #
Turnip fans singing Galway song now… #
Fuck. #
Leinster, where’s your fuckin pride? #
YES! C’mon Leinster #
Should be 17-16. Felipe you’ve been great. But don’t let the door hit you on the way out. #
About time cheating Munster had someone sent off. Connacht song again from Munsterfans #munlei #
@KimBrame @bngr No comment. Can’t get myself in more trouble :-) #
@czajkowski congratulations. Time for Cheika to go I’m afraid #
@aarons Screw that idea. I’d rather beat Quins & go again at Munster with someone with a clue in control #
Ok, screw it, supporting best semi-final team at HQ final, whoever it is. *sad* #
@heavensgame Irishman is he? #
So, in the cold light of day, great performance from Munster, Leinster weren’t bad in 1st, poor in 2nd. Kicking desperate. Won’t beat Quins #
Watching a replay of Bath v Quins #
@BarryAlistair Don’t think it can restart at this stage. in reply to BarryAlistair #
Ah well, there we go, it won’t restart. This race didn’t do much for F1′s poor reputation at the moment. #
If Munster get to Heineken Cup final, what jersey should I wear? Thinking about Lions jersey. #

I love Brian Moore’s commentary on the cheating in this game #EDFrugby @rugby nick lol,you’re right there. #
@smallbiztrends Tweetdeck underlines typos and has user dictionary so you can add your own terms #
Worst. Cross-field. Kick. Evar. #EDFrugby #rugby #

This game has drastically improved in the first 5 mins of the 2nd half #EDFrugby #rugby #

RT @sineadailill: feck this ye have yer wendyball so i’m straightening my hair! — lol #
Result: Ireland 1-1 Bulgaria. Boring. Inept. Own goal. Tactical subs in 90th min. Snores. Boos. Feckin wendyball. #irebul #
“Are our players good enough?” Yes, but they didn’t feckin try to win it after they were 1-0 up. Tried to defend 1-0 for 89 minutes = stupid #
@gerandclaire Agreed, S. Ireland discussion is a sideshow. Dunphy has a point, tthis team does look like rugby team under EOS #irebul in reply to gerandclaire #
The RTE montage at the end of #irebul makes the game look interesting. Might just watch that bit for #ireita next week #
What time is the F1 race starting (actually start time, not TV coverage) tomorrow morning? #

Got another ticket available for Leinster Ulster tomorrow evening, @reply if you want it #
@NiallHarbison the feckin clocks change tonight?!that’s why the time is that many hours from now. Ok, so it’s 6.45 BST tomorrow time in reply to NiallHarbison #

I’m using FeedWordPress to pull partials onto syndication blog. Messy bit was RSS.92 not having pub date & synd posts all same date. #

Got 1 spare ticket for Leinster-Ulster, @reply me if you want to head #
