Sizcons Additions and David Airey

A while back I received a few emails from readers (Stefan Moeller and Style Ignite) requesting the addition of some icons into the Sizcons set. I had been pretty busy working on other projects and never had the time to design these icons in a prompt manner for these individuals as I said I would when I replied back to them. I apologize for that, but better late than never, right?

Here’s what was added:

Updated flags with different colors and more detail.
Printer icon.
Upload and download icons.
Pictures icon.
Three security shield icons.
Created a new green refresh icon.

Along with these additions, I also touched up some of the existing icons. I noticed a few blemishes on some of them. Hope everyone likes the updates. If you can think of anymore you would like added, let me know.

David Airey Was Hacked

My good friend David Airey had his site hacked recently. The hacker gained access to David’s Gmail account and was able to successfully transfer David’s domain (daividairey.com) right out from under his nose. Now, the hacker is holding David’s domain hostage and asking for ransom. Luckily for David, he also owned http://www.davidairey.co.uk as well, so he’s using it as a backup until the whole situation is cleared up. So, update your bookmarks.

Good luck David. If there is anything I can do, let me know.

Brian: Yeah, it’s total bull. I guess people feel they have something to prove because they can hack a site. Makes them feel all warm and fuzzy inside or something?

I’m sure David will land on his feet though. Just might take some time.

I just read this as well. It is really an awful situation to be in. I wish I had some insight on what he could do.

ses5909: Yes, I wish there was something I could do as well. I hope he gets it sorted out and although it probably won’t happen, I hope something is done about the hacker.

Hi Deron, and thanks so much for the mention!

You’ll be glad to know I have my domain back. Click my name for the scoop.

Have a great new year!

Yeah I was following this saga via Digg. I was so elated when I read David defeated the lame hacker-wannabes. Way to go David!

I guess…
They have to be sneaky and work hard at it - so I guess finally achieving their goal of hacking the site makes them happy…
I know completing a difficult task makes me feel happy.
But even so… there has to be something else to it…
We may never be able to understand their minds.
