Fresh, Hot Wastes of Time

I just went through Fantastico on my webhost to see if there were any old, unused webapps I could uninstall. I get this urge to tidy up my directories once in a while. Turns out there were a couple of old forums I had that I didn’t use, so I told Fantastico to uninstall them.

It deleted the wrong database.

So I lost the database for the forum I’ve been running for 4 years now.

My most recent backup was in June.

I’m pissed off. Fantastico sucks.

Say what you will about Starbucks… I have a burr grinder from them that I bought a couple of years ago. It fell victim to my husband’s mysterious curse of breaking my coffee equipment (“Oops, I dropped it”). Definitely broken via abuse, definitely out of warranty. I called Starbucks to order a replacement hopper and they’re sending me one totally free, not even a shipping charge. Probably in hopes that I’d give them some good publicity. Which I will. Bing.
