Movement: Slava 2427 automatic
Jewels: 23
Functions: hours, minutes, seconds, day, date calendar

The unique part of the movement is there are two mainsprings.

Giving constant power, even when it’s low on reserve.

Watch Collecting, Started with Fossil and Vostok-Europe

I wasn’t big on watches previously, I don’t even wore a watch since school !

When my girl bought me this Fossil 52MM, I was practically hooked on big watches.

I was shopping for a mechanical watch as opposed to the usual quartz watches. I wasn’t a big fan of mainstream or popular products, I rather go out of the norm, I’m always choosing obscure products.

Latest activity

It’s been a while since my last entry. A few things was happening, my blog engine went kaput a few weeks ago and it actually affected my Google ranking. 🙁 I saw a significant drop search engine directed traffic.

Recently I discovered some malicious activity on my other web host. I was going through my gallery, http://jiehong.net/gallery when after a few clicks, I got re-directed to ask.com. I thought I haven’t renew my subscription or my domain hosting.

After checking my subscriptions, all is fine. I went into cPanel to poke around. What can cause re-directions, I check the re-directions settings, sub-domains etc. Finally I discover some re-directing codes in some of my .htaccess.

Sample:

ErrorDocument 400 http://ake.kz/in.cgi?8
ErrorDocument 401 http://ake.kz/in.cgi?8
ErrorDocument 403 http://ake.kz/in.cgi?8
ErrorDocument 404 http://ake.kz/in.cgi?8
ErrorDocument 500 http://ake.kz/in.cgi?8

I discovered a folder was created in my public_html, “coming10/almost”. What’s almost, the hacking is almost done ?
I found the following files inside
– .htaccess
– doing83.html
– er404.php
– everyting40php
– thanks28.html

They all contain encoded javascript to redirect visitors to some site. MY VISITORS ! I reported to my web host, I wonder how much action can they take. They are using ClamAV to scan the /home. Oh well… I’m expecting somebody eye-balling the logs to determine the source of entry.

Now I still do not know how they got in, so I need to monitor my site very closely.
