We're ba-ack...

2007-07-15

Good morning Boys and Girls.

Before I start, a note:

I'm posting here, at tBlog, at Wordpress and now, starting today, at Livejournal, though there, you'll have to look for "surrogatesblog" ; since someone else has the user name "surrogate," there.

Back up your posts people. I always get a sick feeling in my stomach when the blogs go down, knowing I haven't backed up in a month or two since I always forget UNTIL there's a problem. And, after all, since I've come to delude myself into thinking that some day, my missives here over the years will be considered universally brilliant and  necessary reading for all well-schooled people, I can't leave my work to disappear forever into the cyber ether. I want to make sure I've got them on my own hard drive, where they're safe and sound - until I screw up and delete them accidentally myself after one too many Bloody Marys or an overdose of Crystal Meth - both relatively unlikely scenarios unless I experience a severe personality change.

A couple of bloggers have contacted me during the "outage," to complain bitterly that Rocky and Nick have dropped the ball; one going so far as to call them "losers," and swearing off shoutpost forever; but since I have absolutely no idea what caused the problems, or how difficult they were to fix, and knowing for sure that I probably wouldn't understand the actual processes used to remedy the situation even if they were explained to me slowly and completely using a chalk board and a pointer, I'm not going to jump on the bandwagon.

I'm thankful they got things fixed and hope it's a good long while before we have to go through another few day panic session.

Now... What was I going to write about today?


Be good to everyone.

Perhaps some people's expectations are too high! They expect perfection, and run away if it's not met. I would think anyone using a computer would know it doesn't always work perfectly forever!! Hope they come back!!!

Yes, it is too bad about the situation that was. I hope it does not happen again. I have a help/work around post in my blog, you might want to check it out and change your settings.
