Seems like the server I was hosted at ran into a nasty UML bug where the master image panicked and mounted the file system as read only while the slave images still though they had write access. It crashed the disks hard and all my data was lost. Turns out the co-lo that was supposed to be backing up the server every week found out they only had backups from 2003.

I’ve lost a lot of data including past sites and art I had done and over a year and half of blogs. Mostly sentimental stuff but I would have never guessed how important they would seem to me.

On the brighter side it gave me a chance to move to a better blogging system (WordPress) and get a completely new design. Right now I am just using the stock template but I am having my 15 year old brother design something simple but cool. He is becoming a really good digital artist and I don’t have the time or energy to do web design these days. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
