It seems that the demons of stupidity have been plaguing my web provider. People have been telling me that my links are broken for the past 2 days and at first, I didn't believe them but I've now been forced to notice that something is wrotten in the kindom of Denmark.<\/p>\n
Logging on to my webserver, I was shocked to discover that all my directories are now dated feb 16\/feb17, even though some of those should be years old. Files I uploaded on the 22nd are nowhere to be found. Even more worrysome, I did some file maintenance this morning<\/b> and deleted some old stuff. Lo and behold, it's now back. What's even more brain damaged is that I was trying to install java\/tomcat and had downloaded all the files to do that. They're gone. Poof! Kaput!<\/p>\n
I've opened a trouble ticket with the ISP and I have everything in cache\/backup, but still. That's just fucked up.<\/p>\n
Edit: I know what the problem is. In fact, the exact same thing happend to me once before. My web provider keeps getting bought by a bigger fish and they keep migrating their servers to new server farms. As such, they take a snapshot and replicate it to a new server, then point the DNS entries to the new server. Should be a quick and painless transition. Except that I connect to flubu.com on a daily basis and therefore have its IP cached locally. So when the master records change, I don't see it and merrily keep working on a server that will soon die. Joy. I'm moving the last files over now so no harm done. I would just have appreciated a bit or warning…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
