Downtime and new hosting

October 20th, 2009

If you’ve been wondering why my blog was offline or threw an error for some time, it’s because the palce where I hosted it up until now was a shell server, Nic Nac Project which got hacked (rooted). As a result, every file on the server named index.php got corrupted, and possibly other things too. At the moment the NNP server is offline due to this problem.

However, my decision to leave NNP had nothing to do with the hack, but was a decision I made because Binero had a campaign where they offered dirt cheap web hosting for existing Binero domain owners. So that’s why also took the step to finally rid myself of the long domain gameboygenius.8bitcollective.com and switch to the much shorter and easier to remember blog.gg8.se. Because of that I have a clean backup of the files from right before the hack. (Perfect timing :D ) Currently redirects are in place from gameboygenius.8bitcollective.com which should take care of any blog posts, but any other files or stuff previously stored on the server (Including some images, although most of my images are stored on Flickr) will not work for now. Everything will be 100% within a few days though.
