Digenis.org

Well, Digenis.org is back after a few days of downtime caused by another server failure over at my former hosting provider. They lost everything. Even the backups. This prompted me to swiftly bring my business elsewhere, but I was still stuck for about three days without e-mail. (If you wrote to me at this domain, you probably had the message bounce back. Things are all in order now) My site is now hosted by Site5, and so far it’s been a pleasant experience.

I did lose a lot of files through this whole debacle, however, and I was pretty ticked about it at first. It was my own fault for not getting around to setting up a backup CRON job after their last outage and, needless to say, I’ve definitely learned my lesson. I was able to restore my entries from 2002 through late January from an old SQL backup and luckily Google cache was able to help with everything (not much, as my posting has been incredibly light this year) since then. Still, many comments and trackbacks are forever lost into the digital abyss…

Posting will still remain light as I’ve got a pretty busy schedule in the near future and I’ll be moving to a new apartment at the end of this month.
