I hosed it...
2005-11-27
As you've no doubt noticed, I totally hosed things while working under the hood. I went to drop a table and dropped the database. Inconvenient, but I thought I'd just restore the backup, which would cost us about a half day's post.

The backup was corrupt. I had to use the previous day's. After tearing my remaining hair out, I was able to restore Page 1 by hand. I still don't have the comments done, will probably do that tomorrow.

I usually have an editor page open set to "all records," but today I didn't have it on this machine. A family member -- he'll recover, though he'll never play the violin again -- shut down the page I had open upstairs.

My sincere apologies to everyone.

#1  Fred - You never need to apologize for things that go amiss. That something as complex as the 'burg works so well is a marvel. That it is so open, inviting every moron on the planet with a connection to try to screw it up, yet stays online is a testament to your generosity - and programming skills. Full stop. I am extremely grateful for the work you do and the unique creation that is the 'burg. I offer my sincerest no-shit thanks.
