At long last I’ve been able to get the blog back up and running after almost a month of down time. At the end of June my webhost had a double disk failure on the server that hosts the virtual server and all the data was lost!
Thankfully I had setup a daily cron job to email a backup of all the databases. It’s taken a few weeks to get everything back up and running. First I had to get some websites I host restored, second work has been incredibly busy (50 – 80 hrs a week) and on top of that I’ve been working on a new website for a charity here in Seattle. At long last I’ve had the time to get the blog back.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who has a virtual server: KEEP REGULAR BACKUPS.
You did not, by any chance own a book called “Sams Teach yourself Networking in 24 Hours” did you?
and possibly two XML books, a Java distributed objects book and a “Teach yourself C in 21 days” book?
I got the Networking book given to me by someone working in a Junk shop… which had “*GARETH HUNT*” written in it. That book came along with the other mentioned books….
Hmm.
Hi Joe, I never owned those books. It must have been someone else with my name.
Damn! Haha. It’s strange that someone with your name has an interest in the exact same topics as you! Ah well, it’s a strange world
