I just saw the following dotMobi mention in the June 2009 issue of Inc. magazine, "dotMobi answers the call for simplicity with its Instant Mobilizer service, which automatically reformats your site for mobile phones. You will need a special .mobi domain name (get one from Go Daddy for $8 a year), but dotMobi takes care of the rest for free. At the top of each page, your mobile site will list both your phone number (for one-click dialing) and address (with a link to Google's directions page)."

This is both annoying and embarassing.

My Facebook account was hacked earlier this afternoon and the "charming" hacker has been telling my contacts that I need money - it's basically a 419 scam.

I've already reported the issue to Facebook

To clarify:

- I'm not in London or anywhere else overseas. I'm currently in Carlow
- I haven't been mugged or had my wallet stolen
- I don't use Western Union or any such services. If I wanted your money I'd either ask or encourage you to spend more money with us!

Hopefully I'll be able to get this resolved in a timely fashion.

I suspect my Facebook account password was a bit too weak and was bruteforced..

UPDATE: I've finally regained control of the account and will be using much stronger passwords in the future (there's a blog post or two in that tale!)

Sydney was great.

The weather the first few days wasn't exactly wonderful, as I already mentioned, but it improved while I was there.

Australia is not Sydney, but if Sydney is any reflection of Australia then the country is great!

Now I'm back in Ireland trying to get over the jetlag (again!). Why anyone would fly all the way to Australia for only a couple of days is beyond me!
