backtracking
Had a few minutes this evening to sift through the old corrupted db backup, and restored some version of all the lost posts…they should even mostly be in the right order.
Given the weirdness of the DB formatting, and the existence of multiple versions of a post (one for each revision, apparently, and I fix spelling and grammar stuff almost immediately after putting something out live almost every time, it seems), there are probably a bunch of broken links, spelling errors, and instances of double quotation marks all over the place.
Maybe I’ll fix ’em one of these days, or I might just leave a few as gentle reminders to back everything up more regularly from now on.
That puts the rebuild progress as nearly done; just the rebuilding of the blogroll, and all shall be well once again.
Also, today, I learned that this exists. I’m not sure how I feel about this.
