This Week’s Hot Topics and Monthly Roundup: I’m So Mad Edition

2 December 2007 4 CommentsPrint This Post Print This Post Email This Post Email This Post

So you may be wondering why this is the ‘I’m so mad’ edition of this week’s hot topics and our monthly site roundup. I got home after dinner last night to find out that for some reason all my emails are gone. In addition to that, Money Socket lost about 5-7 of the most recent articles as well as comments and poll votes. I checked my e-commerce sites which I also host on the same server and sure enough I lost order details, recent updates and so forth. I don’t even know if my sites can take orders correctly at this point as I haven’t had any sales this morning. Needless to say, I’m very mad. I’ll likely be switching hosts very soon. I went with this discount hosting company and for the past two years things have been great, but lately there has been issues. Luckily I was able to recover Thursday’s articles as well as mine from my RSS reader, but the comments are gone. Please help out and comment again as I really appreciate and enjoy reading everyone’s comments. I hope the server holds up until I switch, thanks for everyone’s understanding.

Here are some of this week’s hot topics from other sites:

    Ouch, that’s painful - I try and write my posts on Live Writer (from Microsoft) so that I have a backup on my local laptop, but there’s not much you could do for comments, etc. I guess it’s a possibility with almost any service, though.

    Thanks for including my post! Ironically enough I hope you get back to your routine soon! - Steve

    Bummer. I receive a copy of all comments in my gmail inbox and archive them under the label “comment”. Same with posts. Anyway, I hope things get back online ok!

    Thanks for the nice mention of my post!

    Thats a great idea. I have one of my business site’s emails routed to gmail so luckily I was able to retain order information when though my website database lost it. I never thought of doing the same for this site but I may just do that now in case this happens again.

    Haha, thanks Steve. I’ll try to get back into my routine asap. But stay tuned, I may just do something out of the blue to stay mysterious!
