New Site

Site
SiteWell, plans for a new site have been in the works for aaaages, but I'm lazy and such and so, but in case you didn't know, I got hacked a wee while back.
I got a message from my wonderful hosters, informing me that my security settings had been updated. "Good," thought I, "It's always good to have better security," blissfully unaware to the more serious and dark reasoning behind this.
After a disgraceful crash in the computer department, I lost EVERYTHING that I had on my hard drive, which made me sad
but it's ok, cause I did some recovery stuff, etc. so it's all back.. aaanyway
at that point I thought, "Shit.. I don't have my site! how can I make any updates?" well at this point, I remembered that I could in fact download my site from the server, and edit that!!
haHA! problem solved! 
or was it?
no. It wasn't, because I had been hacked!!
that's right, a crew of cyber punks, I wish I was making this up, but I shit you not, I did, in fact, get abused by a gang, a virtual gang of hackers.
The bastards deleted everything, except their own index page, as a calling card. That's how I noticed, I logged on to my server, looked at the single index page... and thought.. "Shit's gone down."
whacking up the site, I was greeted with aforementioned calling card, and I was PIIISSED!
but, as I said, I have it recovered aand, it has prompted the site redesign, so magnificent!
So yea. The new site is here, not as great a redesign as the first redesign, it's a lot more derivative, but there's no scroll disease! yay!.. well I hope..
I'll check it in a bit..
so yea, super news, coming to you, before the release..
