Aaaaaand… we’re back!

Well, I can’t tell you what I’ve been through. We were hacked on Friday and while it looked as though all was lost, it’s all good now. Hopefully normal posting will resume tomorrow. My sincerest thanks to former stranger, now fantastic new friend Lee Kelleher — whose mythologically well-endowed mind solved our problems. Lee, who volunteered to help after hearing of our misfortune from the good people at Ready, Steady, Book, shall be henceforth known as “The Bookninja Messiah”, and will be sporting some lovely promotional wear. Yes, I’m thanking him by advertising on his chest.

In the meantime, I’m putting a bounty on the head of the bastard that did this, and promise that whosoever brings in his pimple-faced, fat-WoW-playing-hacker-ass in for justice at Bookninja central will get at least one third the heart to munch on with me.

    You are assuming that the creature has a heart.

    It’s good to have you back.

  2. Peter says:

    Probably plays Horde. On a PVP server.

  3. chris says:

    Ack! Like a lot of people, I use WP for my blog. Is it a new exploit or something fixed by upgrading your installation?

  4. Tanaka-san says:

    Sire, his aforementioned fat, pimply head will be on a spike at the city gates before sunset.

  5. Monica says:

    don’t you have some special ninja thing you can do to him?

  6. John Saflo says:

    So, when you find this guy, are you going to throw the book at him?

    LOL Peter!
    Doesn’t Margaret Atwood have a lvl 70 Dranai Shaman that could gank his arse?
    ;-)

    Glad to have you back, George.

  8. sj says:

    So the NYT is free now?

    just kidding

  9. Monica says:

    good one, sj.. nicely done.

  10. Degen says:

    George,

    Stop trampling on the freedom of expression of the bepimpled. Don’t you know the Internet exists to allow us all to express our creativity through mischief and damage? Your insistence on polite fair play is so early 1990’s. Besides, this hacker has spread the word of bookninja virally, bringing you a whole new audience.

  11. George says:

    You think you’re right clever, don’t you, J? And you are.

  12. Mark Thwaite says:

    George — great to know that Lee could help you get back on your feet. ReadySteadyBook.com only functions because of Lee’s genius: he’s a lovely bloke and as clever as a very clever, technical, very clever thing. Bless Lee! All hail!

  13. David Worsley says:

    Glad your back, George. You’re a big part of the agreeable rut that my life has become.

  14. usetheknife says:

    Congratulations from the gathering of the blue sofas, also known as the WiFi zone at St. Peter’s Abbey in Meunster, Canada. Sincere thanks to this Lee person.

  15. Panic says:

    Maybe they thought you were somehow connected to Scientology?

  16. Michael says:

    Word on the street is gingerist extremists are claiming responsibility.
