Weblog Japan, the wiki I am running about life and travelling in Japan (and for which sadly I have not found any time recently, no one else is contributing either) has been hacked for the first time, by someone from Norway called WEQ who accessed the page about the Japanese Calendar yesterday afternoon (using Internet Explorer 6) after having found it looking for Japanese Calendar Pig on Norsk Google (where it ranks fourth, yeah!).

Now, hacking a wiki that allows anyone to anonymously edit its whole content is not a particulary impressive feat, and the damage was minimal and easily undone by reverting to the previous version, but having attracted the attention of hackers is an important step in the life of a web site, and I would like to thank WEQ for that.

Just don't do it again.

According to the Chinese Lunar Calendar, today is the first day of the Year of the Rooster.
