I’m baaaack …

I’m back! :cool:

For those of you won­der­ing were I’ve been, well, back around the first of May, my Web site got hacked. I did man­age to do a blog post about that before the hack com­pletely took the site down.

Any­way, my Web site guy put the site back up about two weeks later. I did some work on it — and then it got hacked again.

I kid you not. The very next freak­ing day.

Evi­dently, some­body out there either doesn’t like me or just enjoys trash­ing people’s sites. Because it was a pretty bad hack with lots of nasty, cor­rupt files every­where. Any­way, it took my Web site guy a while to go back through and weed out all the bad files. (Thank you, Justin!)

The result of which is that now all the infor­ma­tion on the site is about two years old. Sigh. I have a backup copy of the info from the last time I updated the site, but it’s going to take me a while to go back through and phys­i­cally change and refor­mat all the pages again.

Any­way, thanks for your under­stand­ing and patience. Hope­fully, the site will not get hacked again as I (slowly) restore all the old infor­ma­tion. But if it does go down again, then that is why. And know that I am work­ing to get it back up as quickly as possible.

In the mean­time, we will return to our reg­u­larly sched­uled blog posts. I’ve got a ton of books to review, and I’ve man­aged to see some of the sum­mer block­buster movies.

Oh yeah, and I’ve got some news on the Ele­men­tal Assas­sin books to share too. :-)

I’m glad to be back!

  1. I’d noticed you’d gone AWOL. Glad it was just a hacker and not some­thing truly tragic, like you ran off with Striker, or were ill or unemployed.

  2. Nope, noth­ing tragic, but the hack has been a pain to deal with — espe­cially since I know noth­ing about how to fix those kinds of things.

  3. She’s back! YAY!!!!!

    If you are ever able to track down the SOB who hacked your site, let me know. I have a few sug­ges­tions on how he/she should be treated that would make Malefica and Frost a lit­tle squeamish.

  4. I would like to find the person(s) respon­si­ble and get them charged with some kind of cyber crime. Unfor­tu­nately, that’s prob­a­bly not going to happen …
