You have probably noticed that the blog has been down for some time. This was due to a quite severe malware attack, probably via a virus on my PC (at least, so they tell me). I – stupidly – tried to resolve this issue myself at first, which in turn only resulted in the site going up momentarily and the down again. This happened several times, and due to my own mistakes in dealing with this issue, I both prolonged the actual downtime and lost a couple of posts in the process. I finally found a way to get everything up and running again, and hopefully the malware is really gone this time.
On a somewhat brighter note, the site IS up and running again. Sure, I lost a couple of posts, but those can be re-written. My hosting provider actually adviced me to wipe everything, and perform a complete re-install, so I’m thankful that not more was lost. There are still some minor issues to iron out, but all in all, I think we’re back on track.
Lessons learned: Backup often, and check for antivirus even more often.
