PFBlogger Meetup & Technical Difficulties

I had some hacker issues last night, just as I was sitting in traffic trying to get to the Greenbelt Metro stop so I could take a lovely hour and a half jaunt down to meet the finest personal finance and non-personal finance bloggers (and non-bloggers) in the land, so my sincere apologies for those of you who had the thirst for knowledge that couldn’t be quenched and had to go to bed left wanting. What happened was someone was trying some script injection attack of some kind, the host didn’t elaborate and I didn’t bother to check the logs to figure it out, but it had to do with my site’s .htaccess (which I hadn’t updated with the rest of 2.1, the permalink rewrite stuff has been trimmed down considerably), so all the permalink stuff was down even though the main site was up. Anyway, hopefully those have been resolved.

Either way, last night a bunch of us got together, had some half price/2-for-1 burgers and then meandered over to a bar about the size of my living room. Those in attendance were:

• George of Fat Pitch Financials
• Clever Dude
• Nick and his wife from Punny Money - dude has some pimpin’ business cards
• H. from Binary Dollar
• Mapgirl - thanks for playing the hostess, none of us knew where we were
• Rob and his wife from Epistolary (not a pfblogger himself, he’s an avid and much appreciated commenter here)
• Mighty Bargain Hunter
• Nickel - I’m not linking to you

(Hopefully I remembered everyone, if not, let me know because I didn’t leave you out on purpose. I had a two hour trek home…)

It was a pleasure meeting you all face to face, my apologies to Nick’s wife who really had little interest in blogging but tried to smile whenever someone said something about it… next time I’ll try to bring my fiancee and you two can talk about normal stuff.
