X I was careless and had been delinquent on my backups and inconsistent with my computer's virus checking updates when I got hit pretty hard by the Sasser Worm and another virus in April. The last 'good' backup of my web was after the point that I had finalized the structure and format, but prior to the time that I had developed most of the content.... the writing and the pictures. I didn't realize that when I was cleaning and reinstalling everything on my computer. When I figured out how much I lost I pouted. I am just now starting to rewrite and compile what was lost. I hope to keep my backups, website and updates current.
