Workshop now has air conditioner and lights

Since last year I have been working in a one car garage sized workshop in the basement of our house. As I have progressed with building I need to move to our two car garage. If not to get more work area, then at least to have a way to get built parts out. I could build tail cone in the basement alright, but I would not be able to get it out - it had a standard, 3-feet or so, door.

So for about two months now I have had our garage improved. Walls, doors and ceiling were insulated. I have purchased an LG air conditioner with heat and had it installed. Electrician ran two additional circuits, installed overhead lights and ran 220V for the a/c. As of yesterday a/c is working very nice and I can keep building workbench and shelves to store control surfaces and other completed parts.

Then I will move everything from basement to garage and continue working. Fuselage is coming in August!

Website was hacked - no joy - old database is gone

I have confirmed I cannot restore any of my previous posts because the database is gone. There's really nothing to say here... don't kick me, I feel bad enough already.

My website was hacked

Well, it has happened to me too. I was naive or stupid (it depends on the point of view) to think that my blog would not be interesting to any bots, so I just left it open to any kind of of attacks and, boy, did I have gotten them!

Thanks to good admin guys who host my site they spotted it and killed everything. The thing is that I have probably lost all my previous posts as I was stupid (no confusion here) not to make backups. The good thing is that I did not post much.

I will try to find out if there were any default backups done by the host and if I can restore any posts from there.

What I probably need to do is to post a short summary of what I have done since I have ordered empennage.

People, backup and protect your sites!
