Black & Decker invented a drill especially for spacemen to take to the moon as prior attempts spun the spacemen round rather than the drill bit.

Busy..

Uch it’s all kicking off at once, not only is my job contract finishing this week, I’m moving this weekend.

So yeah things are a wee bit hectic around me at the moment, I do however have some bits and pieces written for the site, so as soon as things get settled and I get an internet connection back I should be able to put some of it up

Yarg…

Well tuesday was a complete waste. I took the afternoon off of work to view a new flat, but apparantly the estate agency couldn’t be bothered to hang on the line long enough for my phone to go to answerphone, and because I work on the helpdesk, I can’t return calls till after 5:00. guess when they shut. :x

So I’ve managed to re-arrange now so that I can get Ingo_sleeps over there to check the place out on my behalf today, what a faff.

Also I read an interesting article on CNet about the state that Linux is in, RE: total beginners. Seems most of the time there is nothing decent in the way of advice or tutorials, for the really basic users, so to that end, I’mgoing to attempt to start writing some basic guides for beginners, that aren’t horribly outdated.

Woah, I only just noticed, but Smileville is finally back and updating.

In case you’re wondering it’s one of those ‘lets just be silly for the sake of being silly’ kinda webcomics. Fear the FWEE!!

I has finally managed to get this place back up and online…

Okay, here’s the full run down, if you’re interested;

  1. Site got hit on the 28th of May
  2. Time passes as I attempt to work out what’s happened
  3. Finally get onto my host provider, and find out the site got hit and everything deleted manually
  4. Discover I only have a backup from Feb, and my hosts one is from the 30th.
  5. Account gets restored on the 8th
  6. Started to play with te upcoming version of Joomla! before putting the stable back on.
  7. Hosts discover an issue with cPanel at the same time
  8. Hosts are forced to go back slightly to get the systems up and running again
  9. Recreate site once more to this version.

Yay! Well this at least means that I can start from scratch and reformat / code bits that really needed it.

Apart from that, my plans to move out / find another job / learn to drive are eating almost all of my free time, but hopefully I should get some back next month or so and I can start on a couple of ideas I want to do.

Back up and running

By KenjiE20 on 10 Jun 2007@ 9:15 pm

…. well limping at any rate

I’ve somehow managed to cobble enough will and effort to get this thing back up and running once more..

Incase you weren’t paying attention (probable) the site got hit by a hack attempt, long story short, I’m starting from scratch.

Thus expect to see a different approach to content on here, the main focus will probably be towards writings, blog and photo galleries. Old reviews will make it back, when I can be bothered to reformat them from the database archive.

For now I’m just gonna move this site to live and give up for now. TTFN
