All content was removed from the site and the only thing that saved me was my recently implemented backup stragegy. I have now a dedicated linux box running at home that backs up the database and files through rsync every couple of hours. Even though this site is about photography, I will probably write a short tutorial about this. The cost is minimal and the security and peace of mind is outstanding.

I have also updated the software package that runs this site. This proofs just how important it is to implement all security updates and to have a solid backup strategy. I have probably become a bit too lazy for my own good.

It is very sad that some people have no other purpose but to destroy the hard work of others. It has taken me years to built this site and a loyal reader base.

At this moment I am still considering the possibility that the database somehow got corrupted. Since there were no server issues and the database on another site got corrupted also, I think this may not be the case. There is no way to be sure until I have analyzed the server logs

I sincerely apologize if you came to the site yesterday and you only found empty pages.
