Hello all.  As some of you probably know, my site got hacked a few days ago.  At first I was certain that it was an exploit on Wordpress that was exposed.  After going through pretty much every freaking file of my installation, and replacing with known good files, I shifted the blame to my host.  They took care of the problems and luckily I only lost a couple of posts.  Worst case scenario, I would have lost about 5 posts because of my most recent complete backup earlier in the month.  Once again, situations like these make a strong case for being anal about backups.  Even if some Internet jack-ass screws my site up, it really wouldn’t take much to throw in a clean install of Wordpress and then load up my backups.  I have been dealing with some interesting quirks after regaining control of my site though.  I hope to get those sorted out soon.  Obviously, I have to prioritize.  New Years is coming up and I need to know where I am going to get drunk!  I will certainly try to shoot you a post either before, during or after New Years.  That’s right, I said during.  Gotta love being able to post via Blackberry!  As usual, here is a comic that has nothing to do with anything I just mentioned.
