DT Raleigh Is Back Up
Recently, the site was infected with some kind of virus. This came to my attention on Friday, May 7th around noon. If you visited the site on that day and encountered some strange behavior in your browser, I recommend you do a system scan. After hearing about the infection, I disabled the site and put up a simple maintenance screen in order to stop the spread.
After some phone calls and WordPress updates over the weekend, I’m confident that the problem has been fixed. Thanks to regular backups, not much content was lost except for last week’s posts and comments. I have recovered the posts but the comments are lost.
I am truly sorry if this has affected anyone. Computer viruses piss me off more then anything and I hate to be the cause if someone was infected visiting the blog. I’m using this post as an apology and to see that new posts continue to work regularly for the RSS subscribers.
Back to regularly scheduled programming……….

Saving money because of the down economy. Not a bad idea. Groundbreaking is on Monday, May 10th.
