PC Memoirs is coming back soon!

robotWelcome back dear readers!

After the fiasco with my previous hosting company imountain.com and almost losing my blog, PC Memoirs is slowly making a return!

It was quite a strange experience. Can you imagine a hosting company simply cutting the lines and not even informing their clients? I was so angry, but I guess many people lost more than I did. After all, some people live off their blogging income. Not nice, imountain! Luckily I managed to obtain a backup of my files and now I can slowly rebuild my site. My first post will be about how PC Memoirs came back from the dead! It might help some other ex- imountain customers.

Stay tuned – PC Memoirs is coming back – stronger than ever!
