This is in fact the first time I?ve ventured out of the safety of Mumbai into the unknown. Two years back when I set out to do my MBA in SCMHRD, Pune, I knew that I had everything planned and fixed with no need to worry about food, clothing or shelter. This time, it?s a question of shelter. So, if any of you reading this in Bangalore, know of a good 1BHK in Koramangala area at reasonable rates, please do drop me an email.

My office is located in Bellandur, so any suggestions regarding where to stay are also welcome.

Another purpose of making this post is regarding support for my WordPress plugins and themes. I?ll be tied down at least for the next two weeks and I?m pretty sure for two weeks after that as I hunt for a place to stay, get accustomed to the new city and job and get all the basic connectivity, which includes a decent internet connection. I do have my Airtel GPRS connection and a Reliance data card, but I hope I get a good signal to ensure I don?t get too frustrated to stay online.

Hence, for the next month, I won?t be able to fully and completely provide the support at the speed I have that I have for so long. Please do post your support requests in the forum. I?ll try to check in once a day or at least once every two days and respond to queries. Sending me an email won?t help. Read why.

So until then, do wish me luck. I?ll try to stay active on Twitter as well as Facebook (at least in the nights).

The forum is powered by SMF 1.1RC3. The Settings.php had write permissions and the contents of this file were modified.

I’ve replaced the file with my backup and have removed write permissions from each and every file. I don’t think any data has been lost.

Also removed write permissions from files in all my websites.

I’m really shocked to see this hack. Does this mean that any file with write permissions is vulnerable? Or is it only SMF?

This is the first time I’ve been hacked. Has been a learning experience, though I really need to learn a lot more here.

Thanks to Thilak for finding out that my site was hacked and informing of the same.

I have gone ahead and dedicated an entire domain to them instead of the subdomain.

You can access the support forums at http://www.ajaydsouza.org/

Let me iterate that support queries will only be answered in the Support Forums. I will not answer any support queries in comments or email.

Additionally, I have chosen to restrict these queries only to my designs. I will not answer third party queries unless they have some relation to my work. They are only time consuming and since I’m working for free (haven’t got many donations coming in) I deserve the right to restrict my support to only thing I produce.

If you require any third party help do consider a donation.

Until then, the Support Forums are the best and only way to get support.
Additionally over a period of time, I am sure you won’t need to contact me regarding support as everything will be answered over there!

Finally, I have activated the feeds for the forum. You can subscribe here. As usual you have an array of 1-click buttons to choose your favorite RSS Subscription service.

With this I own the .com, .net, .org and the .info

I’m clueless about what I should do with this domains so as usual suggestions are welcome.
