Day 86-87 – Annoying Crap

The server that hosts the Final Guys website and this one was hacked sometime this week. It’s been a pain in the ass. The reason I didn’t upload a blog last night was because I couldn’t even log into my site.

But we’re back in action… for the most part. I had to update a ton of stuff, change passwords, blah blah blah. Doing so made the Final Guys site more secure, but it also made the homepage look weird. So I had to track down the culprit of that (a plugin) and fix the layout.

The podcast continues to be a shit show because of the disappearance of Hangouts on Air in YouTube. I spent hours editing the episode this week. It usually takes me half an hour. Annoying as hell. I had to upload a new audio version this morning because some people were having trouble hearing the original stereo track.

Google as delisted Final Guys homepage from their search results until I can get the hacked content off the site. Should happen in the next day or so. But our traffic has suffered because of it. Hoping to get that situated soon.

I’m also in the process of giving this page an update on mobile. It has always looked great on desktop, but the mobile interface has suffered a bit over the years as my theme and WordPress have updated. I made some serious progress last night and again this morning. Hopefully it’ll be taken care of by tomorrow or Sunday.

Yesterday, I managed to get 1357 words down in the untitled sixth book in The Hunger. None today because of all this website and podcast garbage. Won’t be any tomorrow because I got Ruined back from the editor. Now I get to spend a lot of time going through all my stupid mistakes she caught.

I’ll finish going through the edits this weekend and get it shipped off to the proof readers.

See ya tomorrow.
