A public service announcement.

November 9, 2006 · Posted in Blog 

When you are working on a database you should always, repeat ALWAYS, pay attention to the alert boxes that you are casually clicking away! I cannot begin to stress enough this point.

Not only did I lose several posts but all my settings were lost as well. That is what really stunk about it. I could have lost the posts and thought nothing of it. But all the settings for the site and any customizations were lost in my little fiasco.

While it was a big pain in the butt to fix it did help me to see what is and isn’t working well with the site. I have added a few features, some of which you won’t notice and some you will. I will continue tweaking the site and getting back on track with postings here soon.

I had really gotten away from what I wanted this site to be so I am taking this as a chance to reassess the site and try to get it back on track. Hopefully once I get back on track I will get back some of the readers that I lost. Sure, some of the ones I lost are now popular and don’t have time for me anymore but some just faded away when I started going south with my posts. I hope to attract a few of them back and maybe get a few new people in here with us.

Let’s get this party started!

    How do I want to say this? The level of screwing up is in direct proportion to the level of skill. In other words, I’m pretty dumb about a lot of computer shit. I screw up frequently in a way that seems catastrophic to me, but more along the line of “peanuts” to you, in all likelihood. You are a virtual whiz at this stuff and it seems your blunders make mine look rather elementary…

    I wish you luck with your web adventures. I’m such a coward about those things - that’s why my blog site has looked the same for more than 3 years!

    Have a great weekend.

    Amigo, so when you get this all worked out and get awesomer and your readership expands to enormous numbers, are you still going to have time for me and Cas, your faithful followers and biggest fans???
