VespaRos.com, The Personal Blog of Eric Westbrook





A long time with no updates

Yeah, it has been a long time since I have updated, my reasonings? I fell victim to layoffs and was not in the proper state of mind. Then starting a new job was some stress, yada yada. Well, I'm back. With a vengeance. Although I haven't been actively working on this site, I have been working on other projects that are in the planning phases. But last weekend I did next to nothing other than work on vesparos.com. I finally came up with a solid starting layout that I liked, made some quick logos, wrote some CSS, and got some core functions working. Basically every user interaction code works, with the exception of leaving comments. I spent the past couple days stressed over not figuring out why it doesn't work. I found out that by default, the host that I am using for my database has remote insert access shut off and their support has to be contacted to turn it on. So, you can't comment yet, but hopefully in the next couple of days (that's assuming that I have an audience). Well, I must at least have some one mildly paying attention because some one tried to exploit the contact page with an injection attack. So that's two bits of good news;

  1. vesparos.com at least has one person paying attention, even if they are trying to destroy it
  2. and the attack was thwarted

Gold stars all around. Speaking of the contact page, yes, it works. So if you feel it necessary to comment before tomorrow, or want to reach out for anything else; to say 'hi', to say you hate me, for girlfriend advice, whatever... please, feel free. Of course, more content is to come and other projects to be announced as they solidify. And I promise that this blog isn't going to be about building this site, or even that much about me for that matter. In the coming weeks you should expect original content focused on

Although, most of it will be based, of course, around my experiences in the best place for all of these things: San Francisco. In short, in the next week or so, expect comments, the about me page, original content, and project announcements.
