Beer? Planet? Awesome idea, isn't it? Now that we're clear about how awesome it is, feel free to look around the site.
Oh, and in case you were wondering, you won't find anything related to beer or astronomy here. I just thought beer planet was a cool name. Don't you?

Hi Artem!
You are very geeky indeed. I just would like to ask about site security. I was already hacked at least 3 times and no matter what I do, I am really hacked. My solution now is just to prepare backups for websites – just to be ready when someone hacks them. I would just then transfer to another server and put the backup there. I really don't have protection against hackers except backups.
Oh my goodness! Impressive article dude! Thank you so much, However I am
going through difficulties with your RSS. I don't understand the reason why I am unable to subscribe to it. Is there anybody else having similar RSS problems? Anyone that knows the solution can you kindly respond? Thanx!!
