Oh shit. I lost it there. D&D is the sweetest love ever. She may grow tiresome after heavy rotation, but not long after, your ready to bed with her for the night of your life. Or some shit like that. I will roll up teh sweet character. I like your idea ElZ4r. I think a little dungeon crawl action works well in the sporadic play we get to involve ourselves in these dayz.
31r0x0r: D0 i7 j00 455 5m0k3r. GIv3 uz 50m3 53ri0uz D&D 4c7i0n j00 dir7y cun7.
SO I guess the question of the day is, who is going to be the healing bitch? What l3V3l are we starting at? 1st, 10th? 0th? I am sure we will need a thief. Rude is that where you are headed? Youn seem to like the rogu3s. /|/|yk3? P|_|mP? j()Rn? Ill have |)4\/1|) setup a character too. Im thinking a Dorf Cleric maybe.

Ha!
I think the lockdown of the site and the disabling of various anonymous users and access has saved the action team! (waiting to eat my words...)
D&D is the flavor of the convention. I was talking about this earlier in the blog, but I think it would be fun to run a game that could carry over from con to con, and has somewhat of a loose storyline so that it can be picked up twice or so times a year.
So, I wanna run a perpetual dungeon crawl type game. One that maybe the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide could come in handy for!
That being said, everyone should make a character! Good ole D&D character, well D&D 3rd Ed., of course.
No Druids, and initially only the core books, PHB, DMG, MMI. Good, old fashioned, OG D&D!
Balanced party would be good and a cleric is a MUST! Focus on skills that would be useful in a dungeon setting, rather than a town settting. Information gathering, probably not. Search, Listen, etc. Yes!
My thoughts on this are that it is easy to pick up, play a few hours, put it down ad be done with it. As a guy who runs games from time to time, there is nothing worse than trying to write/run a game with a storyline, and not have everyone into it cause they are tired. So this aleviates that problem: Too tired? Go to sleep, everyone else can keep playing and you really won't miss that much, just some dungeon crawling fun.
I think this format will be fun. And I think Rudy said it best when he stated (paraphrased), "you don't even need to have an adventure planned, just stick us in a room with some NPC's and a whole night of adventure awaits!"
Sound good?
Also, lots of ASL. And Warmachine. And thats all. And maybe this ashtray. But thats all. And maybe this chair. But thats all.

Property Management II
I haven't read any of these posts thoroughly because I haven't had time - trying to finish off the applications hell with a big push. However, I wanted to say to Elrock that he's overlooking *my* property management experience... remember I was a manager of an appartment building for about a year. I'm interested in getting our knowledge together on this because it's in my game plan for the future too.

<Everyone who is not Elzar, ignore this>
There are certainly both a lot of similarities and a lot of differences. Dealing with corporate tenants can be tough because they can be very demanding and are often paying huges sums of money to be in your facility. A lot of my job revolves around that very fact. Where you may hear from a residential tenant maybe a couple times a year, I often hear from our tenants anywhere from a couple times a month to several times a day, depending on their square footage and their maintenance requirements. I think on a square footage to square footage basis, you are certainly going to hear from the corporate tenant more often by at least an order of magnitude more than residential. Thus, you need a lot more staff to support the same footage. Of course this is all from the perspective of large building support (~800,000 s.f.). The other part is a great deal of energy is spent on tenant build outs before they move and on insurance and access requirements. I probably spend about an hour of each day processing, procurring, or in some way dealing with insurance and access requirements for vendors and tenant guests entering the building. What does this all add up to. Well I am only seeing a small slice of what goes on. Another guy does all the billing/legal correspondence. He is not even the legal council or accoutnant. He just processes and corresponds in these areas. Then we have a property manager and assistant property manager that deal with decision making, upper level tenant correspondences, lease issues, build-outs, etc.
A lot of what is similar is soothing tempers, dealing with issues in a timely manner and what generally amounts to good customer service. On the business end, I file and scan leases, I deal with the brokers on a access level basis and I deal with the contractors on a day to day operations basis, but none of it really amounts to hands on interaction with the actual meat of things, but more of operations of day to day activity. Not that the business end is really rocket science. A lot of it is having a standardized lease form for tenants and following the rules and regulations set forth by that lease. The really hard part of management would be finding and signing tenants, and property speculation.
What I think I would suck about residential management is confronting tenants about violations of rules and regs. You dont get loud neighbors or drunken paries or teenage punks F'n things up in the corporate environment. I donno. I should talk with you more about it later. Sorry to bore everyone to no end.

Elzar
I turned off anon FTP, but I dont think that is the problem. Public PHP documents are just too insecure and script kiddies can just grab a script to manipulate weaknesses in the PHP scripts. Not that privately build ones are much better, but they are not widely available and exposed to scrutiny of crakers in the same manner. Most kiddies will pass over a site that does not have a standard PHP file to trash.
I also turned off index.php's ability to have write access. That may or may not stop the issue. The issue is probably in one of the other PHP modules. I guess if it gets hit again I can lock them all down and see what happens. It may also cause problems with the script itself.
All: If you notice issues, post. I will check up on it. I have to get to bed I am so fucking tired.
These are lame... Erase that one

Holy shit guys. It's possible we're dealing with an attack from within. I just ran a hotzone protocol on the logs and I just realized, they trace back to a Bay Area address. Pretty close to me actually. DigitalMind... "D.M."... wait a second, is there someone on the 'Team whose normal handle uses those initials?
Oh hey man, what are you doing here?
What are you... hey wait! I...!

Well, we have been posted as a defacement on Zone-h.org. Unfortunately the culprit did not leave a route of attack description. I will have to dig in the logs to see what was up. Suck ass. Like I dont have better things to do.
Wee. It occured at 18:51, whatever time. You may need to go to the next page or further too see it since it is a live list that updates pretty quickly.
Also: Interesting note posted in the Postnuke forums by an individual under the same name.
BTW Postnuke is probably the issue.

Okay.
So, he did it again. I get it.
And this time I think I have figured out a quick fix, as opposed to last time, which was rebuilding the site again, but easier 'cause I know how to do it.
As far as removing anonymous users, I had done that, but I don't know how FTP access was gained, cause I don't have SSH access, that's a question for Enron. Hey Enron, can you disable anonymous FTP users with your SSH access sometime today?
I kinda liked the RUNDMC theme too, but two things: One, I like the gaming report link, and two, just to spite DigitalMind, I wanna keep this theme going.
So, we'll see who tires first. Will it be the Action Team? Or will it be DigitalMind?
