Well, the server I use for email and webspace has been down since sometime Sunday afternoon. Word has it the MySQL databases are lost, and since I follow the policy of never actually backing up anything, I've got some restoration work ahead of me in the next week or so, it looks like. However I knew that would be the case if I ever lost them, so I'm really not broken up about it, and it'll serve as a convenient excuse to update a bunch of stuff I'd never gottena round to updating.

I'm just into the shakes and hallucinations stage of email withdrawal, though...

(anyone wants to email me in the forseeable future, can do so at sfolse14 at yahoo dot com)

Unless Jeff decided he just really didn't like you, your files will all be there. Including the .css stuff. The only way you'd have lost anything is if you're using a database. even then, only the contents of the database itself would be gone.

In other words, your files are safe.

Ah.

Sorry, in many ways, I am computer illiterate.
Pardon my ignorance.

Question is: is the database *structure* there, or do I get to re-create all my tables from scratch? :)
