Back to the Future!

So Blogger was reset to a previous back up. Anything you posted yesterday is most likely not there. Cool thing is, I actually scheduled yesterday’s post Wednesday night so it was still saved as a draft. I pushed it live again.

It’s a pretty big deal Blogger going down like that. Some people really saw the cloud as dark as it could be and are rushing to back up everything. This may be a good idea, but it takes enough effort that I am not one of those people. One of the benefits (risks) of cloud computing is that the external service maintains its own content integrity. I trust Google enough not to lose my entire site. I certainly wouldn’t want to invest the effort backing up my site after every post.

If Google should somehow vanish from the earth and their content collapse, it’s been fun talking to you all.

…some more than others. Some of you are too quiet, so how can that be fun? Talk more. We like that sort of thing.

    Yeah, I lost some posts and comments, but I feel the same as you. If it all vanishes then it was nice while it lasted.

    I don't need everyone to comment all the time, only when they really feel inspired to say something, but if there are any who really enjoy what I write, then I sure wish they would let me know sometimes! It helps.
