So, yeah, I was hacked. Seriously, grievously horribly hacked. And my host, with whom I switched due to their assurances of doing regular weekly and monthly deep dive backups of my database said “Whoa, wait a second… we meant, you know, when we felt like it. And we haven’t felt the urge to back up your blog since you migrated… huh, isn’t that weird? We didn’t think it had been so long but there you go. Sucks, dude.” Er, ok. So everything is gone. Everything. Well, not really everything, since I never actually deleted my archives when I was porting them over, just kept them on the cutsie little free blog site, and the stuff that was written directly onto WP is all preserved in sweet blessed Google cache. So we’ll rebuild. It will be stronger. Better. It did not kill us. And by “us” apparently I mean myself and also am anthropomorphizing the damned blog. But the first order of business is to get rid of this GOD AWFUL UGLY layout. Man. I apologize on behalf of WP 2.6.2. Because seriously, we could do better than this, right guys? Sigh. Back at you soon with a bunch of stuff. Until then, not dead. Not a whore. Just a little beaten up by technology.

Welcome back, Weet!
So not sure if my last comment was lost, but figured how bad is it to hear over and over again how much you were missed? Very good to see you back.
So glad you’re back!! I figured there must have been extreme technical difficulties going on 🙂
Oh HOORAY~!! I’d thought something terribly awful had happened and you would be gone forever without me ever telling you how much I LOVE YOU! And now you’re back, so I don’t have to. Carry on.
I was way more upset than I should’ve been over the whole debacle. But then again, not really. I feel like you really ARE my Bix and have been a huge part of my Internet life for many a year now. I’m so relieved it’s all going to be okay and I’m really sorry you had to deal with this poop.
Thank God! Here I was thinking you’d been kidnapped by Somali pirates and the blog was being held for ransom.
Glad you’re back.
Whoa — what an unexpected delight to see your blog up and running (or maybe limping for now). I thought some sort of IRL outing had happened and you’d pulled the plug as previously threatened. I was muffling my sobs and trying to be adult about losing the Weet. But still checking the url from time to time, obvs.
Thank goodness! As a longtime reader, I was worried about you.
