This just flat-out sucks.

Okay. Sorry for the delay in posting. I have run into some problems. My service provider accidentally deleted my MoveableType Database. Gone. Bye-bye. No backup. On either end.

So, I've had to parse the entries. (actually, my brother did that) and recreate MoveableType. Preferences? Gone.

So if you came here via a search engine, you probably hit a dead link. Because my numbering got all screwed up in the re-import. So individual links to me entries are all new.

The good news? Expect a lot of new posts the next day or so. I've been saving them up. And I'll filll you in on the transfer to a MySQL Database for MoveableType.

Wait a minute. You mean a cron job on my local machine to back this up? And that's the script? You'd be my hero for the week at least if that's the case.

Youch!! I'm so sorry to hear about your blog-disaster.

Maybe now would be a good time to implement something like MT-RefSearch[1] to help your poor visitors.

Or, maybe better archive URLs[2] would help:

Yep Tony, that's what I do with all my databases. Works great. So now I'm someone's hero for a week :-)
