So in case you are wondering… recently I was moving my database around, and in the midst of things I managed to completely blow up my WordPress database. I thought to myself: “No matter! I have backups!” Little did I know that I had actually forgotten to set up the cron job to copy the backups to AWS S3 (my backup solution du ‘jour).
Long story short, I had to scrape my content out of Google cache to get this blog back in action. One lovely side effect, however, is that all my post comments were blasted to smithereens. I do apologize for those of you that were thoughtful enough to lend me your words. I’ve learned the hard way to always confirm your backup strategy. I hereby join the ranks of Phil Haack and Jeff Atwood (*facepalm*).
