Palembang, the second time

This mid-February I had a chance to visit Palembang for several days. The only thing that appears in my mind was visiting my cousins who tens of years ago took care of me in my childhood. Unfortunately I had no opportunity to stay at their house even for a single night because of the limited time. But I ate a plateful of home-made pempek and enjoy durian a lot ;;)

Read the history of pempek at Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia.

It was my second visit to the house at Dempo Dalam. I remember that I accidentally spent almost 5 days to arrive at Palembang from Jogja by bus because I chose a cheaper ticket (even I can’t recall the name of the bus) and I don’t wanna do that again :D

Thank God, the office sent me with Garuda Indonesia and so it only took an hour from Jakarta. Another GFF miles for me.. targeting a gold card in this year. Well if you have no idea about this miles and card, you might want to learn about Garuda Frequent Flyer at gff.garuda-indonesia.com and read the travel FAQ related to GFF. It’s fun!

A good business trip with a pleasant visit to Palembang. Let’s visit Palembang :-)

Hello again!

A few weeks ago my wordpress blog was hacked and it was the second time! LOL

After googling and reading some very important articles here and there, I decided to delete the subdomain and all files within it. Well some says to repair only several files (if the database ain’t hacked yet) but for me, it is easier and quicker to reupload and reinstall all over again.. Yes, restarting from zero because I had not written anything worth yet :D

This is what I did then:

  • delete wp-cron.php
  • install the WordPress Firewall plugin
  • install the WP Security Scan plugin
  • add a .htaccess file to wp-admin folder
  • password protect wp-admin folder
  • change the permissions on wp-config.php file, .htaccess files, index.php

*sigh :D

But if you have a large amount of blog, posting and modification, you should read another writing, such as:

Cheers ^^
