Hello, all!
Just a note to say that yes, the blog has been down for a chunk of this week. We discovered, purely by accident (and thank goodness for that accident), that someone or something had breached the site’s security, and had inserted code in some of the posts. The code was invisible at the blog itself, but when viewed in a reader, you would see a long list of links for Viagra (and then some!)
Needless to say, finding that code inserted in my posts made me feel about the same way I felt when I found the college professor had plagiarized my article last spring. (For those who weren’t around then, it is definitely worth a read!)
We still have a few minor bugs to work out - some gobbledy gook (a prize to whoever finds odd symbols instead of apostrophes and quotation marks!).
And so, from now on, if you do see any mysterious links in any of my posts, PLEASE let me know!
Thanks for your patience, gang - I’ll be back posting in the next few days!

Hi,
Sorry about that happening to you. I had someone setup an account in my server one time. I was lucky. I didn’t find any evidence of any other wrong doing. Still made me mad however. We were lax in our security. We got that fixed. It still bothers me that people see distruction and intrusion in cyberspace as fun hobbies.
