Learning Ruby

Does anyone know of any resources (besides the Hackety Hack program and the official site) that can help me learn Ruby?

That and ASP are my biggest must-learn languages. I've already sort of got to grips with ASP though (VB ftw), but due to IIS being silly I can't actually test anything I've done :P

In other news, are you using the dodosmail form script? If so, did you know that not only is it susceptible to header injection (sending spam through the script to other people), but it is also vulnerable to remote file inclusion (which will get your site hacked, in other words). I've had loads of errors from bots looking to hack me through that script, urgh.
Switch to NL-PHPMail! ;)

Oh look, I've just noticed the date (in dd-mm-yy format) is 09/08/07. Heheheh.

Strange search queries

I've never really received many strange search engine queries, but for some reason I've started receiving loads in the last few weeks...

  1. who wrote my way
    Um, I have no idea where I have talked about that.
  2. my shift key is permanently stuck what do i do
    Unstick it?
  3. how do i hack ask&answer
    Answer: easily
  4. "disk error" ctrl alt del for reboot
    ...CTRL ALT DEL won't solve a problem if it's a disk error...
  5. how do i write my own cms
    With difficulty
  6. why did the weasel go pop?
    Because it did?
  7. things you never knew about music
    What can you never know about music...?

There are loads more but I can't be bothered to list them all :P

Ooh yay, my CMS is a year old! Ok, so not in its current state, but a year ago around this time (I made the first entry in the database on 28th July 2006, but that was after I'd done a few days' coding) is when I started work on it. Woooo

Edit on 29th July: Wow, they keep coming! Here are a few more from today:

  1. do the keys on my laptop come off
    Well how do you think people put them on if they don't come off?
  2. phone number on net culprit
    ...what
  3. hello may i speak with the owner
    No. Go away.
  4. how to use cutenews
    How about reading the Readme file?
  5. my php scripts they are rubbish yes
    LMAO.

Stop that

From my error logs today:

/tag/security/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/tag/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/tag/phpaskit/page/2/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/tag/phpaskit/page/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/tag/php/page/2/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/tag/php/page/2/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt
/tag/php/page/2/protection.php?action=logout &siteurl=hackyfile.txt

(etc., etc... Each page was done about 4 times, and in total 200 hacky attempts were made)

Dear hackers,

I would have thought that with all the 404s you're getting that you would at least give up. I don't have anything to do with any files called protection.php on my site and scouring every single link trying to hack me is a waste of time.

Go away.

No love,
Me.
