Pemmican is back.

What happened? Here's the short version. The site was hacked. We're not entirely sure how it happened but we think that an email containing a virus or a trojan was sent to the Pemmican mailbox. In any case, the operating system of our main computer was damaged and it became necessary to wipe it. Many people have asked if we saved our files. Yes, we did, for the most part (though there are inexplicable losses and we're still discovering the extent of our losses). What we did lose was software, primarily the software to create Pemmican. Unfortunately, a great deal of that software was donated to us, with the computer, and no initializing copies of the software remained. Being working stiffs, that meant we had to earn the money to buy the software to get Pemmican back online and the bottom line on that is: it ain't cheap. One loss that we still haven't recovered from is the loss of the navigation system software. As you can see, however, there is a functional navigation system in place, even though it lacks a certain pizazz. For now, it will have to do. Before we could do anything, we had to address the issue of security and that meant that before any of the fun software could be purchased we had to have virus protection, firewalls, security scanners, etc. There is probably no ultimate protection against those who wish you ill--but we're much more armored than we used to be.

We will be putting accepted work online on a regular basis as well as updating our graphics. (Not to mention working out a million bugs...) Therefore, many of you may not see your work appear for quite awhile. Please, bear with us. We'll get there. Pemmican is determined to crawl out of the wreckage.
