At long last I’ve been able to get the blog back up and running after almost a month of down time. At the end of June my webhost had a double disk failure on the server that hosts the virtual server and all the data was lost!
Thankfully I had setup a daily cron job to email a backup of all the databases. It’s taken a few weeks to get everything back up and running. First I had to get some websites I host restored, second work has been incredibly busy (50 - 80 hrs a week) and on top of that I’ve been working on a new website for a charity here in Seattle. At long last I’ve had the time to get the blog back.
This should serve as a warning to anyone who has a virtual server: KEEP REGULAR BACKUPS.

You did not, by any chance own a book called “Sams Teach yourself Networking in 24 Hours” did you?
and possibly two XML books, a Java distributed objects book and a “Teach yourself C in 21 days” book?
I got the Networking book given to me by someone working in a Junk shop… which had “*GARETH HUNT*” written in it. That book came along with the other mentioned books….
Hmm.
Joseph Redfern says:Damn! Haha. It’s strange that someone with your name has an interest in the exact same topics as you! Ah well, it’s a strange world
