Some more news about this hard disk crash …

• ArtistBlog.ME & ArtistPlug.NET were before in development locally & remotely
• The changes with Wordpress MU and Buddypress were just at their final milestone
• The graphics were fully implemented, css files were tweaked
• A lot of my work was semi-done on that system ready to be transported to another
• I was backing up as we speak …….

Then, the enevitable happens, the moment I was doing a tar backup to move everything off-site the hard drive started spewing out I/O errors; the backup didn’t even made it!

The bad news: A lot of the front end has been demolished, including a few plugins I’ve created. The Wordpress directory was zero’d out with a lot of other files.

The good news: The database was found intact for about 95% ! Woohoo!

All content, layout, images and doodles will be reinstalled in a matter of time, the network has experienced a week slowdown but hey! I’ve got a new mental note!

• Don’t buy seagates 1000gb drives! Furtheron the site has found it’s basic design now!
• be prepared before you are prepared! Because once you are backing up it could go wrong too!
