Got hacked again, but caught it faster this time and found the entry point. Hopefully that's the end of it.

My hosting account was hacked Friday: phishing sites, bulk emailers, the works. My host caught it after 11 hours and shut me down. I've been cleaning up since, but the hole may still be open. Upgrades and migrations are coming. I feel awful about being an unwilling accomplice to criminals.

Fixed Planet Afterlife update delays caused by Planet Seldo's build time. Updates now happen every 15 minutes, and my web host has resolved some additional issues that were getting in the way.

Upgraded to MovableType 3.15. Commenting now requires TypeKey registration. Follow the setup steps, send me your token, and I'll update your templates. TypeKey isn't fully working yet, but donors get priority fixes. Thanks to everyone who chipped in.

Commenting is broken across my MovableType-hosted blogs. Fixing it requires a $100 upgrade I can't justify since I'm broke and don't even use MT myself. If six of you chip in £9 via PayPal, we're sorted. Don't be a free rider.

Fed up with comment spammers taking down my server. Disabling all MT comments until further notice and likely ditching MovableType entirely.

I can now give anyone with a blog on my server their own subdomain (e.g. yourblogname.seldo.com). Just ask!

Moved to a new server. Everything works. Let's blog.

Moving to a new web host this weekend. Expect a few hours of downtime, but no data loss. The new setup means way more storage and bandwidth, so feel free to upload pictures again.

My site was down for 24 hours due to an underground fire in Baltimore. The internet is a wonderful thing. Normal service restored, no data lost. Also fixed some broken RSS permalinks.

My friend Jamie started a blog. Also, disk space issues are temporarily fixed so upload away. Oh, and that leaked Catwoman trailer confirms the movie looks terrible. Michelle Pfeiffer was way sexier. Also I may be dreaming right now.

My hosting company had a server meltdown and lost data with no warning. Most blogs I host survived intact, but mynciboi lost recent pictures. Not my fault! Here's the current list of MT blogs I'm hosting.
