Blogs gone private

Well it's been a long time since our last post to this blog: sadly, it's been two months of silence and the main reason for this has been that a very sorry group of people have found it worth their while and  (apparently limitless time) to scour through our blogs and extract any tidbits of information that they can use to harass us and generally just cause headaches. Yes, these people are connected to our High Court case, so it's no surprise that they've resorted to this nefarious (and based on the logs indicating their time spent on the site and their browsing habits, also desperately sad) approach in order to somehow "gain the upper hand". In order to err on the side of caution, we've had to take our blogs "off the grid" for the time being, but rather than keep you all in the dark, and because of popular demand, we've opened it up to a select list of readers (you should feel honoured that you made the cut!).

Don't expect much coming from us at the moment anyway, because we've been so used to NOT posting news that it's going to require some changes of habit, and also Kat and I are both presently desperately sick, so we're not really in the mood right now :)

A lot has happened in the past two months, and hopefully over the course of the next several weeks we'll be able to catch those that care back up to speed!

  1. Glad I made the cu(l)t ;). Hope you're both feeling well again soon. I'm sorry that someone went so low as to invade your blog, but this is precisely the reason why I don't have one and instead choose to send newsletters by email.

    I'd rank someone harassing you on your blog up there with unsolicited phonecalls. Both your blog address and your phone number are in the public domain but that doesn't constitute an invitation to invade your privacy.

  2. Well, it was a bit of a surprise getting the invite (okay, I do feel a little honored). Being completely out of touch with what you guys have been up to, this has really sparked my interest.

    Loved the US trip stuff, looked like oodles of fun.

    But this court case fiasco, what's that all about? Doesn't sound good.

  3. Bill: yes, sadly the presence of a blog can open up a whole can of worms and expose us to abuse; one just never expected anyone to really care about our blog(s) in the sort of context that these people are, so it is very unfortunate that we are now private and not searchable via google. Maybe over time we can review this...

    Peter: USA was awesome!! I'll post an update on our lives for you to get up to speed :)
