I can admit that we’ve done the invomniac, the butt-erfly, the pillow of heaven, the cold war, the hair monster (oh, the hair monster!!!), the cat block, the cliffhanger and the human braid.

On the importance of backups!!!

Posted on December 19, 2013 By admin

ManPullingHairOut_300x200

As part of my normal website maintenance, I have a cron script that backs up my whole website and wordpress database. I have now noticed that the file backup hasn’t been running since mid-november. That shouldn’t normally be a problem, until the time when you make a typo in a unix command that, instead of deleting files with a ‘_backup’ tag DELETES EVERY FUCKING FILE IN A DIRECTORY. I managed to kill the command before the whole lot of my new galleries got killed, but I lost four. Two were in a previous backup, one I could rebuild in short order. The last one will need some serious digging around to find the original files.

So kiddies, lesson for today is MAKE SURE YOUR BACKUPS ARE UP TO DATE!

The children of Bean’s school had a Christmas sing-along last monday. It was very cute, even if Bean was yawning his way through it (it was late for him) and he looked slightly bemused at times ;)

The owl is hard at work

Posted on December 18, 2013December 18, 2013 By admin

owl-at-work

The owl and I have been co-opted at work. We are now Mac users. If I’m being honest with myself, it’s a lot better than what I remember it being, from the last time I used it (which was, admittedly, in the late 90s when I was doing my masters). Still, the keyboard quirks take some time to get used to, and the jury is still out on the single-button mouse. Having said that, compared to the monstrosity that is the standard corporate brick..er..laptop, it’s sooo much better!

Quote of the day

"Taxation, gentlemen, is very much like dairy farming. The task is to extract the maximum amount of milk with the minimum of moo. And I am afraid to say that these days all I get is moo."
--(Terry Pratchett, Jingo)
