The main reason has been due to technology challenges. The main thing to say about all this is to ensure you have backups of your data. This includes your local computer and any hosted sites on the internet.

I had my computer at home crash not once but two times in a matter of days. I also had one of my sites hacked. See the graphic below.  I guess they did it for fun. Tennis-fanatic.com was the site the hacker targetted.

Lucky for me whoever decided to do this only replaced on page. It seems that it was someone from Turkey or has something to do with Turkey that decided to be a pain in the neck. Could not tell for sure as the text was not in english.

I must spend some time to read about how to prevent this happening again. Once again the main thing is to have backups. Don’t just rely on your webhost having a backup. Keep a backup on a USB or DVD and another computer. You can never be too sure.

One fun thing that happened recently was my daughter turned 6. She was so excited.
