      Figures... the one weekend I go away and pay no attention to the site or my emails, that damn script hack strikes again.
      
      The same annoying javascript injection struck again.
      
      Finding the remotely-triggered script is tough enough, given all the PHP files I have littered across my sites, but I have no freakin idea how the script gets into my site in the first place!
      
      Once identified, it's trivial to see the remote activation via the Apache logs, but I have no idea how the script was dropped into the site so that it could be remotely accessed.
      
      One time, a script sat on the site for almost a month before it was activated.
      
      Thanks to everyone who emailed a note. I just didn't have reliable access to email this weekend.
      
      It's only about a 30-second fix, but the fact that I need to do it is annoying and the fact that I haven't identified the infection vector is worse.

      Not a whole lot going on.
      
      Getting ready for my annual pilgrimage to 'WeirdoCon' a.k.a. DragonCon.
