So, you may have noticed the absence of this website from the internet for the past week. There is good reason.
The hard drive this website was on failed, which took down every website I have. My gracious web host then tried to restore from backups and get things back on the road. That didn’t quite work out like planned, the backup data was corrupted.
I didn’t have a local backup of the site yet (I had been asleep at the wheel for the past few months I guess). I wasn’t too concerned though, I would just reimport everything from RSS. Then it dawned on me that I hadn’t subscribed to my own site’s RSS feed. No luck there.
What I ended up doing was taking all my stored posts on the hard drive of my desktop and laptop and re-posting them without their original date, time, and affiliated categories. I’m just going to leave the time stamp as it is, however, I will be going through and recreating all the categories. In the long run having the wrong date won’t matter much. Temporarily seeing a story from August on Andrew Bogut playing for Australia may be weird, but it will disappear quickly.
The important part of all of this is that I have taken the steps to make sure it won’t happen again.
