Tangled Bank problems?

Category: Tangled Bank
Posted on: October 25, 2006 2:42 PM, by PZ Myers

Ummm, anyone know anything about this week's host for the Tangled Bank? It's supposed to be at http://metaanalyses.blogspot.com/, but that site immediately bumps me into a redirect to something else.

I also haven't heard back from the host—if anyone knows him (or if you are him), drop me a line and let me know what's up. If there's a problem, I'll recruit someone to fill in the gap on short notice.

Blogspot has been having pretty screwy problems all day long. Probably something related to that.

Looks like a domain or DNS hijacking.

The blog had been silent for quite a while.

In the source code for the blog I can see that someone edited the template to add a function "ygorvuvgko" that is forwarding to that search site, but it is doing it in a sneaky way - by using ASCII character code numbers (60!115!99!114!105!112!116!62!.... etc.) that translate into the command.

So either this site was hijacked or the blogger has sold his soul to a search site :-). I'll send a report in to Blogger but I suspect you'll need an alterna-host for Tangled Bank.

Noticed that too... If you can't fill the gap in between, I wouldn't mind doing an extra long one next time (it's my turn November 8th), so basically taking links from four weeks instead of two.
