DATABASE DISASTER!
Posted by admin Mon, 10 Dec 2007 02:31:00 GMT
So it is really late.. About midnight on sunday evening... and I was cleaning out some old databases.. to make room for a mailing list program and a database driven slideshow as a test. Long story short.. I deleted the database that housed the data for this site. OOps... and of course this is the only one out of at least 50 that I manage that I never made a backup of.. Not really that big of a deal, though, since I have failed to do anything with this blog... It is so hard to find the time.. My life has been consumed with programming tasks and database management for the past year or so and other than the rapid advancement I have made with Ruby on Rails, I have had no time for anything. Not that I REALLY NEED A WEB SITE, but I always feel like I need to maintain this. Maybe this is a sign that I need to start posting some tutorials for some of the things I have figured out and researched on my own. I know I need to give something back, because whenever I am learning anything I always am overwhelmed with a plethora of info on anything I need to know(save a few things). I usually try to respond to questions posted on forums and mailing lists when I know the answers. But, shortly, I will start posting some of the wisdom I have gained here. and maybe some one will eventually find the answers they are looking for on this page...
