I Did A Bad Thing

Actually, I at least two bad things (there's probably more, but I'm only copping to the two).

The first was nuking the forums. I maintain a private forum area as well as another site that I was trying to upgrade. During that process I pretty much wiped out the forums and their year and a half of precious data (mostly BrikWar stuff). At least I had the presence of mind to back up the database before I started. In fact, I did a whole site-wide back-up for the first time yesterday as well.

But I haven't been able to restore the forums. I was up until after 2AM trying to see if I could move it over to a new install, but it just refuses to work. So I'm freaking dead tired right now.

The worst part about the whole thing is that nuking the forums was a manual chore. I actually went in and uploaded all this stuff by hand that finally wiped out the forums. I'm just asleep at the wheel over here. Only after I had copied the files did I start to think that maybe I shouldn't have done that.

I still have some options, including reverting the whole site back to it's former self and starting over. I'd like to keep what I started working on, but I think I might just have to strike a loss and start over.

Clearly, I have no business being near an FTP site.

The other bad thing was I left Tine's chicken soup out on the stove. I was supposed to remember to put it in the fridge before going to bed, but I was so wrapped up in getting my stuff restored that I just forgot. Tine make some of the best home cooked soup I've ever had, but it has to sit for at least 24 hours to really let the flavor seep into every crevice. I'm seriously bummed that I fucked up and left it out overnight. Now it's ruined and has to be chucked.

But I blame Tine for all these woes. If she had just given into the hard-core, porn-style sex that I was asking for, I surely wouldn't have been downstairs screwing up the forums and she could have reminded me to put the soup in the fridge before slipping into her cheerleader outfit.

There's really no sense in trying to work on anything when you got sex on the brain. In fact, you probably would have spilled the soup all over yourself.

Anyway. I hope you get some.
