Almost there...

Well, we've got web and e-mail back up (tho popmail isn't working yet—only imap & webmail for now). For some odd reason however, PHP is acting all buggy, so there are no comments, chat, nor shouts at the moment. I seem to be having a myriad of strange technical glitches actually, and being that Foozmeat lives in Seattle and works a 9-5 job, it's very difficult to get help beyond what tech support offers which, frankly, isn't a hell of a lot. So... slowly but surely kids, we'll get it all back together. To those that have been patient, thanks for your patience.

And for those who haven't, what do you want from me? A note to my clients who assuredly do not read Jakeneck: There is no possible way in this freaking world to prevent against zero day exploits. (A zero day exploit is a newly found hole which hackers exploit until it is discovered by the software manufacturer who then releases a patch for it.) There was no choice but to take the box down if you wanted your data to stay safe. If you had wanted to ditch me as your provider it would've taken two days to move your site to a new server—which was the same number of days it's taken to get this one back up elsewhere, where there's now more protection against future hacks and nightly backups. (Not to mention the fact that you would've lost all the e-mail you hadn't retrieved before the shutdown.) The fact that anyone could cop an attitude with me after the amount of money I shelled out of pocket to bring this sucker back online, as well as the number of hours I've put into it (I haven't slept more than 3 hours a night since all of this started) only serves to show what intolerable douchenecks they are. I deserve to be thanked—hell, maybe even applauded—not shit on for my service.

Now that that's off my chest, we return you to your regularly scheduled program. Sans comments.

[Update] Popmail is back up. PHP is functional... Comments are working again. Yay Foozmeat! Shouts and chat are back up! The Neck Lives!

I'd also like to add that nine days ago was Jakeneck's 1st birthday. Happy belated birthday necknose!
