Starting Over
Well sometimes you can’t always fix what is broken. I just had a case of a MySQL database gone bad. One of the many pitfalls to managing your own server. And it seems with all the backups I have in place, somehow the database was the one thing on my website that was not backed up. With my background I should have know better, but we all learn from out mistakes and move on.
This is actually a refreshing thing. As I start a new phase in my life, I get to start with a clean slate. Was I angered by the total destruction of all I had written and the knowledge I had learned. That would be an understatement. But upon reflection, it is a new start, a new adventure… Exciting times are ahead.
