I'm back (again)

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2007.07.18

Back online. Again.

I had journal items in late 2006 and throughout 2007. But you'd never know, because they were wiped out in a catastrophic database failure. My internet service provider -- webserve.ca -- was running their service without doing any backups of the database servers for some months. This meant that they were unable to recover from some error, and I lost all my work.

In return, they lost a client! My new provider -- netfirms.ca -- allows me to do my own backups, so I'm operating without fear of a recurrence. In the mean time, I'm piecing together what I can.

[ edit: 2022.01.15 - Netfirms would let you down with a nasty security bug that would see all of their sites be rated as spam/scam sites. But I like your optimism! -Future Michael ]

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
