BACK UP YOUR DATA!

I know this. I knew this. Somehow in the excitement of being finished, or multi-tasking, or feeling invincible, I forgot this. I wish it was as easy as hitting CTRL+S.

In an instant our virtual server crashed and took no less than 8 websites and hundreds of hours of work with it.

Yup, that was stupid and careless of us. Yes, we should have known better.

I still love technology.

I’m super thankful this blog wasn’t on that server. (Although it’s probably the most recoverable of any of them).

Thanks, Murphy.

Off to cry, back up this server, and put away laundry.

By the way,
