@achewood There are only five Wodehouse books on my special Wodehouse shelf?! As Jeeves himself might ask, "Where in the fuck are the rest of them."

Argh! Damn server

I need to vent here people. I use Jiffynet as the host for cortjstr.com after many dumbrellites recommended it. It's always been decent overall (phenomenal considering the cost) but Wednesday night they lost a whole server. And found out the backup drives were corrupted. And didn't tell me until I sent an e-mail to support. They saved my index page but lost all my other data. Granted, nothing was critical or irreplaceable but it's still frustrating.

Also, it seems that receiving mail is hit-or-miss as some of the DNS servers still think I don't exist.

Ugh.  I hope you keep your own backups.  I mean, you had to FTP the files from somewhere, right?

Still, that's inexcuseable, especially if you're paying them money.

There only things I didn't have a complete backup of were my *****s.txt file and my "what I'm listening to" script.

I would've lost my e-mail but I store it locally (and back that up to an external drive)

I guess I'm just lucky that I didn't have the message board or shopping cart enabled. But still, for only $20 a year their service has been great otherwise.

Yeah, the only things I'd lose are that day's comments and message board posts (like all of these).

It wouldn't be crushing, but it would be annoying.  I feel your pain.
