Had A Bad Day

Erase

Lyrics from “Had A Bad Day” by Daniel Powter:

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong

Yep, that’s the gist of it.

Early this morning, as I lay in peaceful slumber, everything on lenflack.com was destroyed by automated script gone crazy. I have semi-recent backups of most of the visual theme stuff, but the content from the last two years is gone.

Note to self: backups of databases are just as important, if not more so, than custom theme files.

There is a chance I may have a way to get the posts back. I’ll be working to bring back as much as I can over the next day or so.

Either way, I have been blogging more in recent months than I had in the previous year and a half, and I intend to continue that, so keep visiting!

Update: Content posted after February of this year, including my most recent stuff, is toast. That said, I’m just going to consider this a mandatory refresh, and start from scratch.

  1. OUCH!
    Sorry Len. All that work!
    But at least you appear to try to be thinking positively about it.
    Can’t wait to see what lenflack.com will become!

  2. Sorry that happened, my dear! I hope you keep up the blogging though!

  3. Oh Len! I’m so sorry. I would be devastated if that happened to my blog….ummm…maybe you could come over sometime and give me a lesson in how to back that kind of thing up? =)

  4. Sorry Len, that just stinks. I am so not cool i don’t even know if i’m supposed to be backing up anything. Though I do keep a “hard copy” of pictures on CDs, i think that’s good right LOL
