I guess we just wait and see. Thanks.... -cvj Hi Amara,

I think there was also something about it over on Bad Astronomy, but I’m not sure where I read it now. I guess we just wait and see.

Thanks….

I've put all the posts back in place with their correct URLs and timestamps. Some are incomplete in the body (images missing, and some updates missing), but I have most of the material to complete them in a few days. Lots of comments to put back too.... have them all.... will take time. Best, -cvj Hi All,

It's aggravating to spend time dealing with security issues instead of writing more entries. I just subscribed to your feed and I look forward to seeing your new stuff. Good luck getting everything back in order. Sorry to hear of your troubles. It’s aggravating to spend time dealing with security issues instead of writing more entries.

It seems so senseless and random! Amara: In my experience, this isn't a very common occurrence at all, especially if you aren't blogging on your own site. If you are worried, go with a service provider platform (like Vox or Blogspot or whatever). But still very unfortunate in this case.

And your experience nudges me away from having a blog.. the occasional attacks on my basic web site give me enough headaches. Maybe I'll skip the Internet blog phase altogether and be more ready for the Next Big Thing ('Web 3.0'). Oh my, Clifford, I’m so sorry about that!

Aaron Bergman emailed me with some of the posts he found on google cache. THANKS! Inspired by his success, I tried to find the others elsewhere, and sure enough, I found some more on yahoo's cache site.... I think I might have all of them now.... It's going to take me a while to fool the database into making the right URLs for them and everything, but all posts ought to be up soon... Then I'll restore your comments... Then I'll begin the long process of upgrading the whole site... THANKS everyone! -cvj Good News Everyone!
