Server Crash…
You are seeing this post if the website that you were trying to visit (or view content from) is still not recovered. I hope to get the network blog back up by the end of the weekend. The Weather site may take longer, but the weather data is still available at Weather Underground or at http://wx.findu.com/n5snt-2.
Update 1:
OK, here is the story… I currently run my websites via a virtualization solution on my Windows 2008 R2 Server box at home. Unfortunately, I was running a slightly too unstable (that is in hindsight) Linux distribution on this webserver. On Wednesday afternoon, the box decided to scramble my ext4 partition. I then tried running fsck on it for the next two days to try to resurrect the data (I was OK with just wiping the install). Alas, my /home directory was completely trashed. Also, I had neglected to make a snapshot of data for the past few months. So I’m now forced to recreate the website from my DB backups from early this year. I’ve elected not to restore the files for now from my last backup and am just rebuilding everything. This majorly sucks, but at least I’m going to end up cleaning up things. The major suckage will be rewriting the URLs to make the photogallery work.
On the matter of the photogallery, it’s going to be a while for me to resurrect it. In the meantime, you can visit my Picasa gallery that has most of my photos. I was setting this up while I was waiting to recover the hard drive.
For now, the blog works, but none of the links that access content outside of WordPress doesn’t work. I’ll recover those tomorrow…
Update 2:
I went ahead and disabled access to the photogallery directly when accessing it from a different URL. The link in the theme still works. So if you are seeing this coming from Google, that is why. :(
Update 3:
OK, I resurrected the network blog and got the weather site to work. I’m also (slowly) reincorporating the pictures back into the photogallery. This may take a while and it will take even longer to recaption them…
