And it starts all over again...
This is the first entry in a long line of entries. Hopefully. I was down for a while due to a corrupt file brought on by spammers, those evil devils of blogging, but now I am back up.
Here is the detailed story.
I have been using a free version of a blog software package called Movabletype. I love it. But since it was free, it didn't come with things that I needed like the ability to block spammers. So starting a couple of years ago, i started getting spam comments on my posts. So if you were to look at an old post, you might notice that a comment was written promoting bad bad things like gambling, porn and the such. Well, I had no ability to control this. and over time, it got worse, to the point that thousands and thousands of spam comments were posted a day, those evil bastards. Over time this filled up my comment directory on my hosting provider. I didn't think it would do any damanage but I was wrong. It corrupted my movabletype software and I was shut down. Good for the spammers. They succeeded in shutting me down, I hope they are proud may they rot in hades.
So I lost all of my posts. Well, not entirely, but sort of lost them. I was able to do a screen capture of the HTML, but was not able to back up or retrieve, so in essence they are gone. Over time I will put them here since I have some pretty good ones, like my anger toward Delta and bad New England drivers, plus the nonsense with my kids, but it will have to wait. I am kind of busy.
Anyway, I am back up, minus the old stuff, for now. Wish me luck.
