For those who are wondering about the old site, you may recall that I got hacked a while ago, and, frankly, my enthusiasm for continuing to wage that particular battle evaporated overnight. What to do, what to do?

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

I didn’t want all the old articles to just vanish, but I didn’t want to spend any more time playing technical defense against spammers and other species of mouth-breathing losers who can’t see anything nice in the world without wondering how to take a shit on it. So I converted the entire site to static files, put a simple explanation on the front page, and locked the server tight.

Now that this site is active, though, the old one is no longer accessible, but it’s still there (for some definition of “there”.) You can no longer access it (unless you look here) but I can. My plan is to look through those pages, over time, and migrate the most useful ones here, but it probably won’t happen quickly. So if there’s something in particular you’d like to see resuscitated, feel free to drop me a comment and I’ll move it to the top of the pile.

About The New Site

Welcome to the new Creativity Hacker. If you remember the old site, things will look very different this time around, but there’s method beneath the madness. Follow me down below the fold to find out how I’m organizing things this time around. And more importantly, why.

About The Comment System

Having had my web site hacked a couple of years ago, I abruptly lost all enthusiasm for running one, so after I locked it down, I took a few years to think about what to do. In that time, I’ve realized that for 98% of what I truly want my website to be, there is zero reason to give anybody access to changing the site from within the site itself. Even I don’t have such powers. And by not letting anybody change anything, the site can be remarkably secure against hackers. Not 100%, but much, much closer than any system that includes interactive editing features as part of the design.
