"Pizza Day" -- Jonathan Coulton

Spring biking and running, website
We finally got some spring weather, and seized the opportunity to get some outdoor exercise:

• On Wednesday we went for a shake-down bike ride. (Different from an ordinary bike ride only in that we selected a route so that our maximum distance from home was never so great as to make it impossible to walk home if necessary.)
• On Thursday I went for a run. We had also gone to the Fitness Center earlier in the day.
• Today we bicycled over to the library to return a bunch of library books. That ride was actually slightly shorter than our previous ride, but it was an actual, transportational ride, in that we'd have had to go to the library anyway, because our books were due.

Now it's going to turn cooler again for a few days.

Some hacker found a system exploit on the servers of the hosting service I've been using.  By simple bad luck, they happened to do so just after I'd spent three days revamping my site. I discovered the vandalism just a few hours after it had happened, and spent an evening going in and cleaning up--which turned out to be entirely wasted effort, because overnight the hosting service reverted the system back to the latest backup. Sadly, their backup was 6 days old, so they also wiped out not only the cleanup work, but also all the changes I'd made over the past several days.

I had backups of all the old stuff and most of the new stuff (and the bulk of the time spent was to learn how Wordpress works, rather than actually creating content), but rather than recreate the system where it was, I decided to seize the opportunity to move to a new hosting service. So, I've done that. I'm about three-quarters of the way to getting things back where I'd had them, although several things are broken because I pulled the trigger on the move before everything was ready. It should be all set in a day or two.
