Today, this was, more or less, the theme song for the server that my blog was hosted on.
After I talked to tech support, they said that they were already on it, but the server went down hard. Like kicked in the nuts by the devil and thrown off a cliff with a millstone around its neck and a bucket of chum bad. I was able to restore most of everything from a backup that, by the grace of God, I made early this morning over coffee at work before I started the documentation that I've been writing. So, not much lost, just a comment or two, and some such.
The moral of this story is that you must not take for granted that your data will always be there because it may not. What's worse, with the way that a lot of high capacity hard drives (500GB-1TB) have reliability problems, backups are even more essential than ever.
Data, like sex is always there when you really could do with a Dairy Queen Blizzard and be satisfied.
However, when you feel you really "need" it...often it's not available.
Take what you can, when you can ;)

I am inclined to believe that there is also a lot of sophistry mixed in there as well.
You know, that was actually pretty profound!
Well, you know what they say about digging holes...
I wondered what was happening; I attempted accessing your blog, earlier today, and received a "page not found" message. I'm glad the trouble seems to be fixed.
