HOLY CRAP: Cellar loses a WEEK of messages - Page 2

Cyber Wolf · 08-09-2004, 02:06 PM

We still love ya, UT!...in..a..purely platontic sense, you understand. Aheh...

Undertoad · 08-09-2004, 02:46 PM

Naw, this one deserves a red face... I suck. I should have been on top of stuff more, since the problem happened earlier. I'm blaming my poison ivy... can't think straight when you're infected with the stuff.

On the bright side, I now understand filesystem recovery very, very well.

Thankfully it was only the Cellar that was impacted... everything else business-related that changed in the last week was on other systems.

think of what this may have done for LJ's post count though. it is like adding years back to a normal person's life.

You been romping in the moonlight again, UT?

slang · 08-09-2004, 03:20 PM

The rumor going around is that UT has been getting more tail than a bicycle mechanic lately.

Go ahead and stick with the poison ivy story if you want though.

Were crashes this common in the previous incarnation of The Cellar?

Undertoad · 08-09-2004, 04:03 PM

No, but there were other problems, such as the modems getting stuck and not answering the phone when you called it. And busy signals - that didn't happen much though.

Troubleshooter · 08-09-2004, 04:06 PM

I should have been more specific.

Were crashes more often in version 2.x?

I admit it--I did it.

There were no crashes before version 3, but there's nothing in v3 that should create this level of havoc. Never say never, but if there was that level of problem other people should have seen it by now!

Garnet, I am in need of your services. I have a couple of electronic scores that need settling!

Oh, so you NEED me now, eh? Listen to how your tune has changed.

Perhaps, UnderToad, are you using Windows? As we all know, crashes are a program in the OS. So well hidden are they that Yoda himself cannot find them. Bill Gates should be crucifi....

sorry about that UT, when do you think everything will be fixed?

Undertoad · 08-10-2004, 10:20 AM

Everything IS fixed at this point, and my backup schemes have changed so I will guarantee we will not lose a single message from here on out. No matter what.
