I lost The Kite Runner review (which I can get back, because I cross-posted at IIRTZ). I lost Cat-Blogging. I lost the Sunday Meditation, which was one of the best things I’ve written in ages, and which I’d planned to save for a book I’m writing. Plus two or three posts I’d written and saved for the future, including a really fabulous one about a conversation with my mother.
Since my web host does a daily backup, I don’t worry about backing up my posts. In fact, he told me not to bother in so many words. Because of the backup. But his hardware somehow ate a week’s worth of backups. They’re all corrupt and cannot be restored.
I’m more than a little upset. And this effects the James Bond blog as well (same host). I actually lost more writing, more pre-saved posts, over there. Did I mention upset? I just can’t believe…I mean writing is what I do. In some ways, it’s what I am, and to see it die…
Oy. No trivia today. Can’t deal.
Wow, that really sucks.
I wondered what was going on. I came here and saw the ‘solutions’ post and thought “damn, they’re all solved before trivie is even posted”…then noticed it was last week’s. And I knew you had posted since then.
I’m so sorry this happened.
Check your email, and check google’s cache for the James Bond posts. Sorry it can’t help with the drafts though.
Holy fuck.
Cathy, thank you, I’m thrilled.
