It’s been a full two weeks since anything new has hit this site. I’d call that a record! Believe me when I tell you that it was not on purpose. I’ve had a wonderful hacking incident which crippled my access for a week and then took the entire site down for another week. It’ was not fun.
There are people who like to prove how smart they are by ruining things that others have created. So, they go about attempting to destroy what has taken years to build.
For a moment there, I actually thought about giving up. I mean, this is the second time in as many months that I’d been hacked. This time was by far the worst. Was it worth losing sleep over? I mean, my life is busy enough. Would you guys even care?
I literally dropped everything. I deleted my e-mail account, and was ready to let everything go. But, I had started receiving phone calls from my family members who, gasp, read and enjoyed the blog. And I received private Tweets. And I received e-mails.
Fine, I thought. I’ll try this one last time.
Go Daddy couldn’t fix anything. I couldn’t anything. All was lost. But then I remembered that I had downloaded and entire copy of the entire site the last time that it had been hacked. Yesterday, I uploaded those files, and WHAM! We were back in business.
So, let’s try this again, shall we?
