Well, it’s been two days now. A sort of lonnnngish version of “temporary”.
I’d comment on John’s site but he’s already received 13,000+ comments, so you know, why add to the pile… But I’m very frustrated with Xanga’s service of late.
they’re slowly coming back… I see them on some of my older posts.
but yeah… if I had taken more than a day to restore data at my old job, I would have been fired long before I quit.
People should post nasty comments, and endlessly. Xanga gets away with totally crappy service because they post these completely untrue updates (“we’ll be back up soon”) and moron teenagers say, “O U guYs R sO kule. proPPzZZ.”
Post this simple comment: “I want my money back.”
From now on I am going to do an archive once a week, and download it the next day, check it, & destroying the once from the previous week if all is there? But that’s NET dependent. Copy it into Word, & just keep updating? What do you recommend, O Homer?
well, the universe itself is temporary if you take a long enough view …
sean: I have a suspicion they hosed the old comments, and are re-creating them from people’s archives. I could be wrong, though.
But, come on… You don’t wantonly destroy people’s comments without a backup plan. Maybe someone typed rm -r by accident.
As far as what I recommend: I dunno. The best thing about Xanga is the ease with which you end up with some ‘bloggy friends. Other services have similar stuff, but the exclusionary nature of having to be a user before you can comment makes it that much tighter.
Hehe… if xanga was the kind of shop where “rm -r” actually works, the comments would have never been lost in the first place.
Alas, they’re “del” & “rmdir” kinda place, and are therefor prone to this kind of data loss. If you get my meaning.
