Going to the dog park…

Nothing all too exciting this weekend.

Played some Halo.

Saw Pineapple Express. eh.

Saw our friends AF-Kin at Austin.s.

Saw a Chicago Bears car at Uno’s this weekend — it must have been owned by a super-fan because it was all tricked out. The car was navy blue with orange pinstriping; it had the decals and the window flags and and the licence plate frame; the license plates even matched. I should have taken a photo.

Went to the Cruisin’ for the Kids car show for a bit (mostly to take some photos).

Looking forward to this long weekend. I took some extra time off so I should have some time to get things done around the house (clean up the office, go through my closet, etc). Fun fun!

If you happened upon my site earlier this evening you may have noticed that nothing was here.

Long story short: Somehow, someone got the login information to my hosting account and uploaded some scripts to my site and sent a bunch of spam email, and my web host suspended my site to stop it.

The good news: I got access to my site back within an hour or so.

The bad news: My account had to be “re-provisioned,” which means wiped clean. For security reasons the host couldn’t restore any of the files nor give me a backup. I lost all my files, my email accounts and saved email… everything.

The good news: I had backed up my WordPress database yesterday so the main part of this site was (mostly) restored right away.

The bad news: I haven’t backed up anything else on my site for about six months.

The bad news: There will be dead links and images around here for a while while I finish getting things back on track. I don’t have any videos uploaded — I think I’ll store most of the older ones on my .mac MobileMe disk and link to them. Which means I need to go through all my archives and change the links to the videos. Unless some htaccess magic will do it … There’s some little minor layout issues that will bug me for a while until I figure them out. But I’m picky and am sure nobody else will notice.

Ugh. Shitty end to a shitty day. I didn’t even have any liquor in the house…

Freaky iPhone weirdness.
