This site is in the process of returning to the land of the living. Six weeks ago or so this web space was hacked into by Russian mobsters to host 36GB of Hollywood movies with Cyrillic subtitles. Ok, I don’t know if it was Russian mobsters, but I assume they were Russians, because who else reads Cyrillic really?

Anyway, I tried to just clean out the illegal content, change all passwords and save this website, but the dirty Russian mobsters had their tentacles in too deep. The only choice was to nuke everything and start from scratch.

So here we are. I’m starting over. Hopefully this site will be in a more complete state in a week or so.

Let this be a reminder, backup often!
