Hello, out there on the Internet.

It’s good to be back online! After a period of recovering from a hacker attack (thanks to my previous host having become totally infected with various php shell scripts) I’m re-vamped and re-tooled and WordPress-less.

Imagine my joy when logging onto my own site only to find that Google had labeled it as an attack site and seeing my virus scanner jump to life to warn me about the worm trying to download from a hidden iframe on one of my pages!

Several hours, lots of deleted files, and several unanswered technical support tickets later, I decided to jump that ship and find a new host.

That brings me to my new home .

The service here has been stellar and best of all, their servers are powered and cooled by the wind! Well, almost. They run on power purchased with wind-power renewable energy credits from a wind farm in Texas… the next best thing!

It’s nice to know there are companies out there that make it possible to make a smaller carbon footprint while striding across cyberspace.

So, maybe it was all worth the trouble after all!
