We Interrupt This Program To Bring You A Message From Our Sponsor

Hi kids. I regret to inform you that we've been hacked. Things have been getting progressively worse as of late, with our system coming under constant attack from all over the world—script kiddies with IRC bots, gamers looking to leech bandwidth, Africans looking for a safe harbor. But today was the final straw. Today our system security was completely and totally compromised. We need to get off this box immediately.

So, here's the deal: After talking to my hoster, it's been decided that its best that I get a new server through a company that has "managed services." This means, instead of me running around like a chicken without a head trying to keep hackers out (or rather, to keep Foozmeat from running around), the hosting company does it. That's all fine and dandy, so I went ahead and ordered a new box. The thing is: 1. It's going to cost me $50 more a month. 2. It cost me $350 to have set up. 3. I may be leaving my job in a month and the idea of having to pay $150 out of pocket each month when I'm freelancing and writing a book doesn't exactly make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

So, I'm here for a handout. I need your help. I need people who are willing to throw some cash my way; regular subscribers who can give me $5 or more per month, to keep Jakeneck alive, as well as our many sideprojects. Hell, send me paying hosting clients. Let me host your site. Whatever it is. I just need to get enough cash each month to have this thing pay for itself, and hopefully something to subsidize the cost of what I had to shell out this afternoon.

Your support is not just appreciated, it's direly need. Please, lend a hand.

[Update] Welp, the good news is, I was able to recover most of the lost material. Yay Google! Many props to Foozmeat and also to Gabe K & his boy Joel for helping out.
