01/07 :  Back! well, just about...

   Well that was an eventful 3 days... after our hosting company got hacked, I've had to re-piece the jigsaw of our website. Sorry if you've missed out on two WHOLE days of messages and news, it was a little out of my control. I've learnt a lot about servers and hosting companies in that time!!

On the up side, at least the hackers were polite and intelligent. One by the name/alias of Christian left a fantastic calling card, it read:

"just a small demonstration of what can be done with a little ingenuity"

This made me smile, how right he/she is(!) - and as Di said to me, "he'd make a fantastic ringer!"

It's pleasing that there are people passionate about things and these hackers were a great example of true 'ingenuity' and patience... it certainly showed me how little I know about computing! I hope they see this and realise that unlike a bank, we hold no real challenge... however, maybe if they looked at the downloads for things like conducting and method ringing, that they might find an interesting field requiring just the skills that they have in abundance. The perfect balance between an old art and a modern science.

Cheers,

Hal

ps. any hackers interested in ringing, please contact me at mouthisi@yahoo.com for your nearest tower (UK, America, Australia or New Zealand) and advice on ringing - I have plenty of time to explain our hobby and no time after work to rebuild a site and communicate with a hosting company to get the sites back up and running, so please don't put me through the hours of rebuilding a site again! Cheers all, hope you enjoy our hobby
