It never rains, but it pours…
I don’t know, I go on holiday for a week and somebody decides to attack the server that my website is running on! Apparently there were security issues with the old version of the pMachine software that this website uses, and my web host immediately pulled the plug on my account when someone tried to access their server through my site. Unfortunately I wasn’t around to sort everything out (I was sitting on a beach in Greece at the time…!).
I think this happened on Sunday 6th July, which means that PhotographyBLOG has been offline for the last 4 days. I’ve spent this morning upgrading to the latest version of pMachine, which includes “several general security improvements”, so fingers crossed that will fix everything.
Apparently a PhotographyBLOG visitor contacted my web host provider to offer to pay any outstanding debts on my account, in order to get the site back up and running! Thanks to whoever made that very kind offer!
But this time it wasn’t a simple bandwidth issue…
So things should be up and running now as they were. Please email me and let me know if you encounter any issues/problems using the site - they may be caused by the pMachine upgrade.
Thanks,
Mark

Glad your website is backup and running. So you were sitting on Greek beach with no Internet, now that is living!

It was very refreshing - I can recommend it to anyone who uses a computer on a daily basis
The first couple of days are a bit of struggle, but you soon get used to it!

I'm glad that you're back; I was experiencing withdrawal symptoms...
