Repairing the damage to my website is going to take a while. The biggest hits were to server performance, payment processing, and any tutorials written after May 8. Nothing was stolen, but a lot got broken. Work is ongoing. My site is back, but it's still not as fast as it needs to be.
While I'm bothered by apparently losing my most recent tutorials, what troubles me more is losing the comments you made to them. I enjoy writing tutorials, but the real fun, for me, comes in reading the comments as you flesh out what I write with real-world experience. Your thoughts are invaluable, educational, and endlessly fascinating to me.
These comments may not be lost - there is a slim chance we can get them back. But, if not, I will miss them more than anything else. I can rewrite a tutorial, but, what makes my website truly useful is the conversation between us - sharing ideas and tips on what works and what doesn't. None of us knows everything. But, together, we are unstoppable.
Until next Monday, stay hopeful, stay healthy and edit well.
