Thanks to a few readers who alerted me to the fact that the site was hacked a while back. Someone installed thousands of links on the home page and uploaded tens of thousands of webpages to my server, apparently in an attempt to leech my bandwidth and take advantage of my high pagerank.
I’m still trying to sort it out, but it looks like I’ll have to do major updates to get things back to a relatively safe/normal state.
I updated the site to WordPress 2 today. There should be very little visible difference, but if you find something funky, please speak up. I’ve also added the ability to print or e-mail individual articles. Let me know what you think.
Due to the ever-increasing flow of inappropriate comments and spam, only registered users will be able to post comments; starting now. It is a simple process; just click here if you aren’t already registered.
I’m sorry to have to do it, but life is too short to waste my time culling through all that garbage.
I’m about to leave for China (Shanghai) on business, and I’m behind on several other projects, so I’ll be pretty scarce around here for two or three weeks. Keep those cards and letters coming though. (more…)
