staying up way too late reading most of 2003’s editions of a webcomic you’ve recently found you enjoy… finishing it to date, looking blissfully forward to a delicious night’s rest in your warm comfy bed… (wearing three layers because it’s cold enough to freeze milk in your fridge, but I digress)… deciding you’ll toddle on off to your website to see if there are any threads in your forum that need moderating… and finding the website hacked. \>.\< grmbglpfmrgfuckers.mrvfslgrmfcastrate’m.grmgflgm. ---

I often fantasize about what I’d like to do to hackers and virus writers. Of the things that I can post about, I think my favorite is sentencing them to a lifetime of cleaning out sewer systems, and no computer access EVER. ---

Damn. Not even domestic hax0rs you can remotely imagine beating with a shovel. Nice website otherwise too. Think I’ll indulge in a little ‘sudo apt-get upgrade’ before I kick off. :-/ ---

Happiness is…two kinds of ice cream… Finding your skate key, telling the tiiiiiime… Happiness is… reading your comic, enjoying jokes for the very first tiiiiime… Happiness is finding your website just has… been haaaacked… and happiness is work to get it baaaaack… What. Okay, so I teach singing to young children. DOES THAT MAKE ME A BAD PERSON? Sorry about the site, Matt-Patate. 😉 ---
