I’m Back
Fucking DNS issues.
Ugh.
My Blogger blog is still hijacked, but Blogger has said they are onto it. Please don’t go there and start looking through the archives. I’ve replaced images on every archive page with a little bugger of a Tardis-like file that will crash your browser at least, crash your computer at most. The front page is safe, so you can go flag it if you want…
I’m exhausted.
Go look at Sunshine and watch the fabulous Featured video that’s got everyone excited. It rules. And so does Damien, the editor.
has blogger agreed to cut the spammer’s balls off yet?
Not quite… but they HAVE got in touch (amazing). They said basically that the reason my blogs weren’t attached to my profile was that… they weren’t attached to my profile. Duh. But if I give them some info about them (the email address I signed up with, other authors of the blogs etc), then they can help out.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed here too. Great to see you back, excellent video!
Here’s more wishing you get it back soon. I’m sure Blogger will restore it once they verify that all your info (at least that’s how we hope it works – I’ve seen others get theirs back before).
Don’t know if this interests you or not but there appears to be at least two other blogspots that got cracked by the same people at about the same time as you.

(found through technorati search of the urls the spammers added to your hijacked blog)
They both are similar to yours, in that they have fairly high page rank, and had basically been abandoned (not updated in awhile). If you look down in the sidebar you’ll recognize the links of Friends that they put in yours, and that these are no longer associated with the profiles that google cache shows they used to have. I don’t know if providing Blogger Support with those additional ones will help anything in having them realize there was a crack going on, who knows. I guess these assholes were just after the page rank to point at their gambling/russian sites, and figured no one would notice them. Good thing you were looking out. Anyway, hope they get it sorted for you soon.
Thank you soooo much, Kirk! I’m going to pass on that info the Blogger right now (Like they’ll listen)…
