So I’m recording the Colorado Avalanche last night on the TiVo to watch when I get home. It’s sometime in the middle of the third period, so I rewind to the start of the game and I see this on my screen.
Sure, it is the preview of Center Ice, but come on. I was able to join the game about 1 hour behind ‘live’. It’s my understanding that the NHL would have the final say as to what TiVo can provide, but that’s pretty lame NHL & TiVo.
Also, with the TiVo I’ve got cable cards so buying Center Ice isn’t an option (only have 1-way cards around here). Seeing this just makes me even “happier” I will be saving $160 bucks again this year. What’s the point of being able to record something if it won’t even let you watch it later.
Wow — I blew up my site with extreme prejudice. I know what happened. and the highly ironic thing is that I was trying to be proactive to keep this from happening.
If you came to my site from the afternoon of Thursday the 9th to this evening (the 11th), they would have been greeted with a nice Fatal Error message and nothing more than that. B-E-A-utiful. Especially because I didn’t notice it until Friday morning…
So here’s what happened: I had backed up my site via copying everything through my FTP client. I then tried to make an automated backup. But instead, I ended up setting a sync. So, when it ran Thursday, it synced over the top of what I had previously copied off – and it did so very poorly that it corrupted my backup. So now my install of WP is nuked and I don’t know what to do. And to top it off, I have a deadline at work that day and can’t jump on fixing anything other than submitting a help ticket until I get home.
Well GoDaddy is slow in responding to my ticket, so I just uninstall WordPress and reinstall. That works and I get things mostly set back up Friday night. Then Saturday morning I get a response from GoDaddy telling me how to revert back to their saved versions. So, I think I have a working WordPress now, let’s just revert all the files — blew it up again, but this time with a different error. So I repeat my steps from the night before, and now here I am.
I was able to get Google’s cashed versions of my posts, but didn’t get a chance to grab their cashed version of my Debt Snowball Spreadsheet page. I did grab one at work on Friday, so I can go back in time once I get back to work on Wednesday (short vacation time!).
At least I was trying to be proactive about it.
