It’s gone, Jim.

Well, it looks like about a year’s worth or so of randomly aimless mutterings and silly links has been lost to the Intarweb mist.

Ah well, maybe this’ll motivate me to write more and fill in the void!

(Edit: After reading Caya’s post I quickly snarfed up some posts from Google and web.archive.org’s archives. They’re not complete – web.archive.org had nothing after March 05, and Google started to break down somewhere around September, but it beats big empty space! I only grabbed the things *I* thought were important. Sorry if this means my collection of silly links and tales of fetish models that used to be board moderators are lost to the ages.)

    .. uh.. uhm.

    .. Happy new year?

  • scottj

    I can think of no better excuse to drink heavily!

  • Caya

    I don’t know if this is any help at all, but Google still has the old, non-shiny blog cached atm. Anyway, scottj has the right of it: a toast to absent blogs! Drink now, worry next year.

    It’s always through experiences like this that you learn the benefits of regular backups ;)

  • Freakazoid

    Looks like you don’t have the katrina cards, either. There’s a mirror of them somewhere else, right?

  • scottj

    The Katrina cards are gone because we worked out an agreement with Wizards to take them down at the end of the year.

    Cool, now I can pretend all those pointless political arguments I made were brilliant and are a huge loss to the human race!

    Condolences on the good stuff. Definitely time for a drink.

    Get a backup plugin. It’ll email the backup to you. :)

    Never install over your current install, I believe they tell you? :)

    Didn’t you used to get paid to work with databases?

    Ah, enough teasing. Happy New Year! Plus, I don’t want to jinx myself.

  • scottj

    Oddly enough, I am a bit more careful with the databases at work!

    Around August I lost like three days of posts but I was able to get them from bloglines RSS feed, try that too.

    (well, it doesn’t keep the archives so it’s just about the last 20 posts..)

    I’ll just mourn the loss of comments /cry …

    Well let me start linking to my anti-iraq-war-propaganda again. (sighs)

    Ouch! i thought i was the only webmaster to make that mistake on new years eve! I brought SLYDESBLOG.COM down to do some new years revamps, and thought i lost all the message boards till about 3am when i was able to recover!

    Ill keep my fingers crossed for ya Lum. Hopefully you get your lost data back somehow.

    Fill in the void?!?!?

    I thought the writing CAUSED the void?
