UIGarden.net has been hacked and its been suspended. We had some people hack us with malicious scripts and we have no idea why we have been attacked. Our provider don't seem to be able to keep us secure from hacking nor tell us what how we can protect ourselves. we are moving our site but it will take time and since we are also preparing for the
WUD (World Usability Day) in Beijing, Christina and Sean mostly, we have our hands full. Ryana is sick and that makes us very short - I am not in beijng and my chinese is not capable of handling that kind of correspondence. (Actually my Chinese is minimal!)
Why would anybody want to hack a webzine dedicated to usability ideas and user centred design? But it is very annoying because we have to eke out valuable time to sort it out. What is even more of a headache for me is that I am to do a demo on it for ICHIM conference next friday and I have no website!
On a different track, a little side track...on sailing. I've always wanted to go sailing - too late I just noticed this -
sailing for the disabled in Malaysia.
I had
read earlier about the quadriplegic woman who sailed across the channel on board a modified boat she controlled by sucking or blowing into straws.
"Hilary Lister, 33, set sail from Dover, southeast England, at 8:30 am (0730 GMT) and arrived in the French port of Calais six hours and 13 minutes later to the sound of horns and the Queen anthem "We Are the Champions".
The feat set the record for the world's longest solo sailing trip by a quadriplegic."
I think that might be too much for me but I put this on my wish list- disabled sailing in Greece.
I will have to find out whether it is better than going with the tall ship in Jubilee Sailing Trust in UK
