My website has been down for a few days because my server provider was hacked and around 50% of their servers were wiped clean. Unfortunately mine was in the half that got wiped. Also unfortunately, my backups were somewhat dated, and I lost a fair bit of stuff. This includes my SVN repository and Trac instance, so I am going to lose a fair bit of history for a few of my projects. The code itself is checked out in a few places so all is not lost.
My server also hosted the Bristol Computer Gaming Society website. Ironically, when our server went down, the Students’ Union had just opened voting for “Best Society Website” – an award we were nominated for and hoping to win. We did not win. I spent a lot of time doing CSS tweaks and making graphics to prettify the website for the competition and all of that work was lost :(
I still have some data restoration to do, now that the basics are back online. Suffice to say I shall probably be a little more rigourous with my backups from now on…
This theme is pretty hawt.
