Alan Chai — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 15:47:01 +0000

After the long hour shopping at Gotemba Premium Outlet, we proceed to Tokyo Shinjuku to have panoramic view of the city from the Observatories Desk at Metropolitan Government Building.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Buildings are the center of administrative work for Tokyo, Japan’s capital city. Various offices from police and fire departments to education are located in the buildings to provide information and necessary materials to visitors and to handle various paperwork and consultations for the citizens of Tokyo.

There are observatories on the 45th floors of both its north and south towers, at a height of 663 ft/202 m. On the observation rooms, there is a small cafe and souvenir stands for tourists.

Shots above are taken at the 45th floors Observatories. If you know what you’re looking at. Mount Fuji, to the west-southwest, is usually obscured by haze, but its silhouette is often visible at sunset in winter.

Thereafter, enjoy shopping around this busiest shinjuku district.

BEWARE! - Fake WordPress Site

Alan Chai — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:43:41 +0000

Many sites across the blogosphere are reporting a fake website that is distributing a backdoored version of WordPress. Though these are few and far between, it behooves all users to be careful when downloading any kind of code to run on their blog. The Register report contains an update from Peter Westwood (a WordPress lead dev) about the code being distributed and his suggestions on how to avoid being duped. Though the fake site is down now and If you believe that you might have been the victim of this site, please download a fresh copy of WordPress from WordPress.org and upgrade your blog to be safe.

I personally follow a few simple rules to make sure that I never fall for a social engineering or covert code trap on my blogs.

Always download core WordPress code from http://WordPress.org. Type the link into your browser address bar rather than following a link from another blog or site. This includes updates and security fixes. If your web host offers one click installs or upgrades through their control panel, they are probably safe (they are safe if they are on a current version). I still suggest either installing a fresh copy from WordPress.org or using WordPress.com, but I do understand that one click installs are convenient.
Try to download plugins and themes only from the official WordPress Extend. There are way too many themes and plugins (though much less plugins) that contain convert code and new WordPress theme download sites seem to be popping up everyday. We have covered shady themes many times on this blog.
Never download “hacks” or “patches” to WordPress from anywhere. If you are unfamiliar with PHP, I would suggest that you ask people in the WordPress forums for help or contact us through our form on this blog for help. Always download official patches, updates and installs from the WordPress.org site.
If you find a cool new trick, theme, plugin or hack for WordPress via a Google search, please be careful. I know the following is a cliche’, but if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Do you have any suggestions for our other readers? Have you found strange code on your blog or theme?
