Will Be back to normal soon…

Unfortunately, while testing out some themes I unknowingly uploaded one with some evil code. Yes, in other words I allowed myself to be hacked.
So the entire database has been purged, WP re-installed and the hack code is now gone. The bad news is I may have lost all the content. Checking that out now.
If it is gone well that would really suck. Not sure where I’ll go from there. Let’s just hope for the best.

UPDATE: Arggghhh I lost 144 posts, everything from October 2008 to the last post.
Wow can’t believe it’s all gone.
UPDATE II: Oh man the permalinks are all gone. Wonderful.
Well, it looks like this blog has been killed. Maybe it was time for me to start fresh anyways.
I’m totally jazzed that you would continue on. AS is one of my fave blogs.
Trying to think of some “outside the box” way to retrieve that data (if nothing else, the writing).
-That stuff still exists as far as your blog’s host is concerned. I won’t be easy to motivate them, but that stuff STILL EXISTS on their backups.
Period.
You’re going to just have to separate yourself from the hundreds of requests they probably get every day somehow.

Not really sure what I want to do. Part of me wants to start fresh with a new blog and part of me says “fuck this” after all the time I put into it.
It took me over 2 years to build up to 200 visits a day.
