My blog was hacked!
Today when I looked at my blog, I saw a blog post telling that the site was hacked!
The entry is now removed and passwords are changed. Let's hope it doesn't happen again! And if anybody out there has a "BlogEngine.NET" blog system, keep an eye on it.
If you use version 1.3.0.0 of BlogEngine get the patch to fix the security issue from here.
Still problems with my host!
I still have some issues with my host. They managed to get my blog up gain, which is good. Sadly I am now having some issues with running Silverlight applications, due to isses with MIME-types. This worked without any problems before they managed to pull my site down.
Silverlight MIME-type information
To run silverlight applications on your host, you need to setup two MIME-Types:
Extension: .xap
Content Type: application/x-silverlight-app
Extension: .xaml
Content Type: application/xaml+xml
This doesn't work now and you therefore can't run the silverlight sample on my site. I hope my host will get this fixed soon!
UPDATE: Finally they managed to fix the problem. So the silverlight applications on my site is now running again.
Down time
Due to some issues at my host, some of my websites, including Laumania.net has been down for some days. Laumania.net seems to be up and running again now, but there is still some issues with some of my other sites.
During my down time, I were investegating the possiblities of hosting my sites from home. I have a ok connection and computer to run as a server, no problem there. My biggest problem is email hosting. I don't want to run my own email server, as I can't be sure to have a 100 % uptime here at home. This is accepable for a website, if it's down a little while from time to time. But email can't be down, as I will loose emails then.
A solution to this could be Google Apps. I tryed it out yesterday, and it seems to work great! I used laumania.net as my first test domain, and it runs nicely!
First you have to create an account with a domain. Then you have to verify that you own the domain. After that you have to do some DNS changes for your domain, and then you are running. So all emails to my laumania.net domain now is recieved by google and put into my "semi" gmail account.

My Projects page has been updated
A while ago I was talking with another game developer (Cameron) and was showing him some of the prototype games I have made over the last year and a half. As I was browsing through my "Projects" folder on my desktop, I discovered some old games that I almost forgot about.
Today I desided to put them on my site here. So please go to the "My Projects" site and start downloading.
