Good things and bad things started to happen to me lately(mostly pc related)

Ok so first I would like to talk about my last months inactivity which will also be the dark side of this post. You can't even imagine how many things have gone, so let's get started. First of all my blog's hosting account got hacked by a turkish hacker, that's just what I've needed, getting hacked. I don't understand these popeple(who hack websites) some work hard to get their blog/whatever site or business are running and some guy/gal jumps on his/her chair and starts hacking but the worst part here is that they either deleting the main page, virusing all databases or who knows on what they get they're fingertips on. It's sad, but it's happening. Ok so I solved this issue by contacting my hosting account.
I really thought they'll ignore me but I thought wrong looks like, the folks did a quite good job at blocking them from unauthorized acces. Still all my database is broken and I don't think there is a chance it gets back to normal.
Ok so the nest thing it happen is that today my external drive broked. Where more than half of my files were stored, now I can't acces a thing, Vista simply tells me that it's nothing there when I double click it, yet on the other side when I look in the My Computer window it recognizes it as full... odd.
Alright now the good things. Now this is what I thought the Community should do before we hit summer. First I thought at this awesome ideea. Here's what I have in mind, althrough the time zones will be a considerable problem if not important. Since I don't think there is a geek which doesn't have an IM(either Yahoo Messneger, Google Talk, Skype, MSN or others) account, and since each of these companies on which you can create such an account or at least most of them offer free PC-to-PC calls, then I thought we should made a sort of a live streamed show in which the host(preferable viewed on cam) talks with the person invited into the show via PC calls, and that way we can all sit from home and listen lol. Ok so this looks great, now, other thing is that I'll be back as active as I was a while ago, and hopefully even more activethan I was. Loking forward to see you're opinions especially about the ideea I had.
P.S. If I don't reply in a certain blog post it's most likely because I'm busy, but I always read everyone's opinions.
