Bad news:
My web hosting company found a problem in one of my sites. Basically, somebody (probably a robot) hacked into my account and inserted little bits of malicious code everywhere. Not good. In order to get rid of the problem, I essentially had to remove everything I had posted using my hosting account, including our blog.
Good news:
This stuff was backed up, right?
Bad news:
To an extent. I have all the posts on this blog archived back to early 2009. All the pictures are archived from the beginning of the blog. Some of our witty commentary is lost to the ether.
Good news:
I’m taking this time to thoughtfully redesign sites like gratemusic.com, which should be back up in a few weeks.
Bad news:
Some of my sites will go dark for good.
Good news:
Those weren’t the important ones.
Bad news:
Retrieving the archived materials will take some time, so the older posts will not be available right away. I’ll restore them from most recent to the oldest I have. Our wordpress theme is also the hideous default for the moment, but we’ll change that soon, too.
Love,
Nate
