Technology’s gay, why don’t you check my website

This happened to me for the second time this week.

I type “blognomic.com” in the url field in Firefox.
(Actually, I only type “blog” and down arrow.)
Blognomic’s page starts loading.
Before it is fully loaded (or maybe it was already loaded, but the “0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0” line from the Sparrowscript hadn’t appeared yet), it disappears and a blank webpage with url http://ustream-tv.rr.nu/11f/ appears instead.

I never had that before.

I haven’t noticed this in chrome, but I have in IE. It effects all blognomic domain pages included the wiki…

Sounds like it’s a Javascript exploit if it’s not triggering until the page starts loading, although I’m not sure how that would also be happening on the wiki, unless the server’s been compromised.

Does the same thing happen if you view static non-HTML files (such as http://blognomic.com/robots.txt)?

For what it’s worth I’m running Firefox, and am not having this problem, even if I turn off my ad-blocker.

Is the offensive subject line a quote from something that appears as part of the process, or are there no clues other than the redirected URL here?

I have no other clues.

I apologize if the subject line was offensive. It was not intended to be.

If it can be any help, the url changed to http://ustreambesttv.rr.nu/11f/

Didn’t get the tv.rr.nu this time:

Well the only thing I might have done is have a “GNDT - blognomic” tab and then open a new tab with blognomic.com
