Hacked

Okay.

So things are goings to be a bit wonky for the next couple of days. Some weiner hacked into the server that the BeatnikPad lives on and destroyed everything. I had a backup, but only up until the end of January.

As far as this journal is now concerned, February 2002 never happened.

Please bear with me as I reconstruct what I can from google’s cache and other sources. And if you should ever overhear a snot-nosed punk kid bragging about trashing someone’s server, kick him in the groin as hard as you can.

Moral of this story: Just because your provider says, “We do backups!” doesn’t mean that you don’t have to. Blech.

Sorry to hear about yr loss. It's really demoralizing to lose that much work, I know.

Rebuilding via Google cache is a pretty sound idea, though. Good luck with that.

Those fucking script kiddies! Crackers! Jesus. I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos. Bad luck.

Yeah... I was pretty furious when it happened - more so because I sell hosting to some design clients and friends, and their sites were toasted, too...

Luckily, I had backups of most of them, so it wasn't the end of the world. Lesson learned; I'm backing up every night now.
