I just returned home from a week in Texas celebrating my parents 65th wedding anniversary. Trying to check my weblog, I kept getting all kinds of errors. Coming from a tech background, I poked around a little and noticed one of the critical files in my weblog software had been overwritten by a bunch of\u00c2\u00a0 garbage. To make a long story short, my web hosting company, catalog.com restored the files from backup and so the weblog is back up again. Evidently a hacker had gotten in and replaced the files. Catalog.com also did some changes to prevent future attacks…at least of this sort.<\/p>\n
I don’t know how many read my weblog regularly, so my apologies for the outage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
