Its Baaaaaaaack!
Many people have been pestering me to get my weblog back up and running since I’ve gotten my new server up and running. I really had no idea how many people actually read this thing… get a life people!
This weekend I decided to finally sit down and attempt a massive data recovery of the old server. Fortunately for me, the dead hard-disk wasn’t as utterly dead as I had thought and managed to let me extract most of my historic wordpress database without issue. I also managed to save all of my pictures from my trip around the world, which can now be found in my gallery.
I did all of this without having to stick the hard drive in the freezer! (I really was looking forward to that though.) If you are lucky, I’ll tell you how I managed to extract the bad data and use some hardcore Linux tools to read and correct the bad sectors on the disk.
Finally, along with the gallery came the massive amounts of comment spam in the buffers. I’m going to try to clean those out and re-implement the “captcha” so they stop coming… I might even use CMU’s newfangled one which helps decode electronic books.
Don’t wait for me to finish the rest of the website… thats a long way away. And don’t hold your breath for more blog posts, I’m pretty tired.
