Down Time

As some of you may have noticed, the Fwonk* website seems to be inaccessible. Last week, the website was subject to a DoS attack and the site temporarily went down.

The hosting company, SiteGround restored the website and moved the information from one machine to another. No DNS or IP information was altered during this move.

The website remains active for many, especially those accessing from home, but for whatever reason, the website remains inaccessible for many trying to access from work. Yet the site will work via a Proxy site, but not via a "porn-mode" window in Chrome.

However, and much to my surprise, the main site is partly accessible through IE8 privacy mode, and I aim to refresh much of the HTML to see if it accessible in other browsers.

I have no idea why this might account for any errors, but if anyone has any further suggestions for helping with this issue, please comment here and let me know!

Many thanks!

Fwonk* T-Shirts

There's now a range of t-shirts available with some unique Fwonk* designs - including some unique guitar effects pedals.

Check out the range here.

New Fwonk* Design

Okay, so I know I create a new flipping design for Fwonk* every 6 minutes... but this one is here to stay for some time. The horizontal scrolling thing was way too uneven and seemed to depend on viewing it on an enormous resolution. I created a new design to replace that mistake, and this is just a tweak on that design (now with a brick wall background and more info on the title page).

I expect there to be a flurry of releases on Fwonk* in the next week or two - we have music from Smoke & Mirrors, Echosonic and myself as Heskin Radiophonic.

Photoshop Tutorials

It's been a while since I blogged, but I've been busy learning Photoshop! My fellow Fwonkers have been impressed with my l33t sk1llz and asked me to do some tutorials.

You can find them here.
