I seem to be pretty consistent in my opinions and approach. I guess that means I'm not a real artist, just a pornographer.


And some less pleasant news...

I've had to take my online gallery on ranum.com [link] down. I was using an old piece of image gallery software that has proven out to be filled with security holes. It's been a real pain in the neck, keeping it up to data - and, finally, someone broke into my site and installed a crosslink to a trojan download. So Google has now flagged my site as a malware site and anyone trying to go there gets a warning. (Theatrical sigh) For a computer security professional's personal website, it gives the wrong impression.

Rather than deal with it, I've just zapped the software completely, and I'll eventually repost a gallery using handcrafted HTML. It'll be faster and simpler anyway, although I enjoyed seeing what images were popular, etc. Once again, a few selfish jerks cost everyone extra headaches. Next time you see a hacker, kick him in the shins and tell him "thanks a lot."

Since I don't have huge amounts of disposable time, I have no idea when I will get around to recreating my gallery. I'm bummed because I used to have the the first page in google image searches for "neko girl" and "gorean slave girl" and a few other choice things. Not like it matters a whole lot, but it made me happy.
