Happy New Year 2010!

Posted By Max on January 1st, 2010

Hey everyone and happy 2010. It’s been an eventful few days. An Egyptian hacker got into my FTP. He then proceeded to upload a phishing site. The bank he was phishing found out, told my host, I got suspended, and spent the next few days trying to rectify the situation. Thanks Egyptian hacker. You just got Africa, Asia, and South America banned from accessing any site I host. I would like to thank Brian V. of Vexxhost who helped me resolve the whole “hacked” thing. Hopefully your New Year’s celebrations did not involve support tickets like mine did.

I was hit with a stroke of luck this Christmas. I finally got a new computer, one that will be with me for the next decade. It will allow me to have less problems with software development. No more worrying about losing source code. All my projects are on hold right now as I figure out how I will set up my new environment. I do not have a copy of Windows right now, so PPC development will be stopped until I get Windows 7. Nintendo DS projects will resume as soon as I get the environment set up. Also, I have reopened my PayPal account, so donations are being accepted again.

Hope it will be a good year!

    When I saw that the site was down, I just thought you forgot to pay the bill or something similar. Wouldn’t have thought it was a hacker. Sorry that happened to you…

    Gratz on the new computer; I too got a new motherboard and processor along with Windows 7 this holiday season so it’s essentially like a new computer. Glad everything’s okay and I’ll be waiting anxiously for your DS projects to be released, mainly AIMDS. Thank you for what you’ve done for these projects, we all appreciate it.
