What happened to my blog...

or the story of being hacked. In case any of you are wondering about my strange, unexplained disappearance...it's not financial, since I pay nothing for the honour and privilege of blogging. I'm currently hosted on my friend's server, and he was hacked sometime late on 12 May or early on 13 May. Anyhow, just in time for me to get a call on Friday the 13th from said friend explaining that his server had been hacked by someone in Germany, that the server was currently down, and he wasn't sure when he'd have everything restored.

I lost some things that I had posted between mid-April up until the time of the hacking. And all your comments. :(

And I'm still wondering about the motivation of the person in Germany to do what (s)he did to someone's personal server. I may never know.

But let's not dwell on the past. I'm here now, no plans to leave, and the server is more secure than it was before.
