Hello!
Apologies for not replying to comments or making blog entries recently. May has been one hell of a month! On top of work, the gym, and preparing for my girlfriend’s birthday, I’ve also been making up midterm exams, marking said exams, revising scripts and playing a lead role in a home-made movie with some friends, freelance work for old jobs, and trying to get more than a week of buffer strips for Crazy Sunshine drawn and uploaded – I have forgotten what free time feels like!
And on top of all that, I came down with a bad cold, spending the first 3 hours of Monday morning in a hospital getting examined for the flu. Luckily, it was just a common cold, but a very nasty one at that.
Multipacks of medication later and I am feeling a little bit better. Thanks for all your support!
Crazy Sunshine also had a bit of tumble when it was taken offline on Sunday. This was followed by nasty little comments on the Toxic Caves comic strip. While the network reported a DDOS (hacking) attempt, whether these two are related or not is a mystery. I would like to point out though, that I have spoken with my host, and have decided to back up Crazy Sunshine’s database. I have a full, manual comicpress, wordpress and database backup on a disconnected USB drive, and virtual backups being made and sent directly to me every week. Additionally, all material including finalized strips, extras, and just about anything on the site has been backed up too.
So, if anyone decides to DDOS the site again, please don’t. You are wasting your time.
All seriousness aside, have a great week! Tell me about some of the illnesses you’ve encountered in your life (if you like!)
1.J-Kun, Tell your Girlfriend some random American said Happy Birthday.
2.Was it Retarded Commenter with the Username “Jerk” try hacking the site.
3. Jkun, hope you get better dude.
1. I will tell her a very awesome comic fan said it!
2. I don’t know. He never replied to my comment but it certainly was a hacking *attempt*
3. Will do! *cough cough*
1.Awesome! Thank you for the compliment.(:D)
2.Well who ever attempted to hack this Awesome Webcomic should have their genitals rip off and shove down their throat.
3.Awesome!(again)
I’m not sure I understand what DDOS means, but uncle Google’s gonna solve that in a few minutes. XD
Also, glad to know you already went through whatever cold it was, mate. Kick it in the teeth, I say!
On a sidenote, something reminded of you recently, man: I saw a bunch of trailers for Pixar’s new animated movie, Brave, and it blasted my mind: by then, I didn’t know where that accent was from, but I knew I loved it – the accent I used to call “Dwarven English” (hope I’m not being offensive and you understand what I mean). Then I saw that this was the famous Scottish English. And, man, it ROCKS! I wish I could speak like this naturally (my English accent, actually, is a bad mix of British English – since I studied in a British-oriented English school – and American English – because of where I work and, of course, movies and all.) Oh, and probably some “Portenglish” that I can’t notice because I’m not a native speaker. ^^’
And, aye, tell your girlfriend that a random Brazilian also wished her Happy Birthday, please. XD
And, man… what a letter… sorry for the Wall of Text. ^^’
Best wishes, mate!
Oh man i cannot wait to see Brave! It’s got so many good voice actors in it and is in my natural tongue!
I love walls of text, and I am sure your English is great! Your typing is at least!!
Thanks again!!
Distributed Denial of Service. To help visualize, imagine a bank where a sudden mob of people rush the tellers. Too many requests coming in at once, denying service to new arrivals.
A DDoS attack, just like inciting a panicked mob in a bank crowd, can only be used for hacking/bank robbery if it causes more problems/distractions to aid further malicious activities.
Oh, thanks, Kree!
One would hope Candy somehow manifests and beats up whoever hacked you >:(. Get well soon
I wanna be able to summon her like in Final Fantasy.
That would be so cool! yay Final fantasy!!!
There’s going to be a troll out there somewhere. As long as you dont show your rage, or shed a tear they’ve lost.
Thanks dude, easy peasy!
I’m usually sick of a lot of odd things, due to stress.
I’m diabetic, type 1, meaning injections four times a day. Unrelated, I’m blind in one eye (It’s a birth defect, honest), and I apparently have Aspergers. It’s one of the things I doubt about myself.
Also, as far as summoning Candy would go, expect Lacie to stumble upon the hacker and wreck his day somehow anyways.
Yeah one of my best friends was diabetic and going out to dinner with him injecting his stomach was a painful experience. I am quite weak to needles, but he didn’t seem to care. He’s also the coolest guy ever, so don’t worry about all these things, I am sure you are have many good sides too!
The needles are actually not painful at all, because they’re so small. It’s very hard to actually directly hit a nerve even if you’re trying to, so it’ll be like “Oh, did a mosquito get me?”
