Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Judging by the stats this isn’t likely to mean much to most of you, but if you’re still one of those people who finds out that we’ve posted something by seeing a notification on Twitter, get ready to start not doing that. I haven’t done a thing there since ol’ Numbnuts bought the place a …

If you came here earlier and noticed that the place had halfway fallen over, that should be fixed now. And for the benefit of anyone else running a WordPress website and also having problems at the moment, here is basically what happened just in case it might help. I woke up this morning to a …
That sure was fun, huh? I mean not that anyone really reads the site at this time of year (big chunks of summer are seriously worse than Christmas around here), but for those of you who do, sorry we left like that. Believe me, it was not planned. You’ve almost certainly noticed and perhaps even …

The short answer is offline, because we got hacked. Twice. The first one happened on Sunday. I learned of it while I was on a train …

It took slightly longer than I’d hoped because I really don’t know what I’m doing, but between me, Google and James who is awesome and actually knows his ass from a hole in the ground, the site is back online and should be running as normal. But I’ll say what we always say at times …
At some point in the not so distant future (today or tomorrow would be a good bet), you might start noticing some weirdness with the site. This is because it’s moving to a new server. Hopefully it won’t take long, but I fully expect to screw something up somewhere along the way so lord only …
