Sharmota

The whole arabgirl thing is getting out of control. Take one look at my referers, and you'd think this site is a portal for Arabic porn - all because of one silly post.

Lately, the more popular search term has become "sharmota", which from what I can tell is an Arabic term for "bitch". Google lists me as the second result. Interestingly, I have never quoted this word on my site until now. At least my referral logs aren't being spammed by bulk e-mail marketers... ha, I'm just not popular enough!

I wrote in May that I didn't consider this page a blog. It has however, over the past few months, evolved into just that - no matter what I'm posting about. Which makes it 2-3 years, on and off, that I have been blogging. Just for the record.

One last mention on blogs: Blogger was hacked by a h4x0r, as were 20 co.za websites.

The Brazilian hacker, who calls himself 'r00t3rs' has attacked 20 websites with the domain name .co.za, causing the most damage inflicted on South African websites in a single day, says the daily.
