Yes it is true, my website was hacked. Apparently there was a security hole in my installation of WordPress and some hacker was able to take over my website. I don’t really get it. Why not go for a bigger fish? 
Anyway, after a short correspondence with my web hosting provider I was able to get most of it back online. And yes, I installed the newest version of WordPress which hopefully solves the security hole issue.
Here is a nice picture of what my site looked like for a few days! Sorry for the profanity.
Also, as you may have noticed I moved my site to the root URL. So if you have bookmarked things like the blog, please update them so they make more sense. I will try and forward the old RSS feeds as well.
And yes, I have been gone for a bit. I have been incredibly busy, working to roll out the latest version of ApertureToPictage. It is nearly read for release and I am proud to say that the improvements are pretty cool. I really learned allot and I owe plenty of thanks to all who helped me in my endeavors, especially Kendra, who helped me to realize that I would in fact do my work while she was having the time of her life on vacation with me in the States.
We did have a good time though in the end. I finally finished up the last pieces of code just as we were about to head back to Dominica, so we celebrated, Kendra and Micah style.
Being back in the States reminded me of a few things. Winter sucks, driving sucks, shopping sucks, and Starbucks may actually be a religion to some. Of course I missed the States before we left, and was really looking forward to Taco Bell and McD’s, but after a month it was back to the same old same old and I couldn’t wait to get back here.
Our apartment is simply amazing, and I have titled the window in our bedroom “The Painting.”
Now I am busy at work once again getting started on my next project for the same client. Things are already beginning to ramp up and we haven’t even released the last one yet!
And, on another note, I am also busy getting my application ready for Mica. So far I have secured two of three letters of recommendation, and I have begun to put together a portfolio of images. It is pretty hard trying to pick out 20 images that represent my artistic vision. I look at my journalism work and I don’t see “art.” I guess I have to get over that! We shall see how it develops. The deadline is February 15th, so I need to get crackin!
Well, thats about it for now. Sorry if there are any broken links in the site, I am still working on finding and fixing them all.
Ciao-fer-now…
