Back Again

I've recently recieved a flood of emails and IMs from concerned readers wondering why my site has been offline. The explanation is very technical and requires acronyms that only a handful of Palo Alto software engineers would recognize, but I'll try my best to translate the techno-speak into layman's terms.

Hackers attacked the sever where this site lives. The server was shut down, repaired and given a new IP address. Afterwards, I had to update my domain forwarding to reflect the change in IP, ie andycriss.com was being sent to an IP that no longer existed, so I had to fix that. It should've been an easy update but I couldn't seem to make the change stick in their system - browser compatibility issues, I suspect - but I finally got it to work. Everything is back online.

Sleep soundly once again.
