I’ve got to say that unfortunally the server’s hard drive - pretty much the most important part of the server at all - died. It started from random files disappearing - such as server config files to a “File system is read only”-error up to the complete fail of the hard drive, which now can’t be mounted anymore either.
I’ve got some needed services to work again, just to name the webserver and mysql. There’s a mailserver set up, but no mailboxes. It doesn’t worry me as much, as at least 95% of my mails are spam which I won’t miss.
And although I’ve remained sceptical if there are people reading this post at all, I recovered most of this blog’s posts. But at all, there’s nothing much on the server lost that I’d miss. This blog is barely updated, so dare you to say it’s getting read a lot. All comments have been lost, but that’s nothing I would change - a lot of it was pure spam really. There’s only two changes that affected the blog: due to the new Wordpress which saves post revisions as single posts, all links being used earlier won’t work.
And the change you’ve most likely seen already, I’ve uploaded a new design which looks in my opinion a lot clearer than the “Regulus”-design I used to have. I didn’t like the old design that much anymore, it has been used since November 2006 in this blog and - if i remember correctly - on blog which existed before, since around January 2006. Time to make a change, isn’t it.
cheers
