And We’re Back!
My friend Marc and I have been racking our brains for the past week trying to figure out why this server has been acting erratically. We tried every update, install, filter and even a RAM upgrade but the server kept crashing. Well, we found out the answer late this afternoon when the server went down for the third time during the day and this time the guy who has been physically turning on/off the server sent this email.
The errors on the console were HDD errors. I am attempting to clone it to a new HDD, but it is making clicks and hanging the process. I will keep you informed.
To make a long geeky story short, the hard disk died and I had to resurrect this blog from the backup. The good thing is my latest backup was around lunchtime today and it seems the tech guy was also able to save most of the images hosted on the server. So moral of the story is… remember to always BACKUP.

Hullo Mimi and Karl 🙂
I can’t stand it when something isn’t functioning perfectly around my blog. It’s like a wound that itches like a mother! Anywho, just want to say i think your work is fabulous. I simply love your wedding pics. My BFF’s sister just got married and i told her about you guys and showed her your website. The wedding was at Dominican Republic though. Perhaps at MY wedding then… of course i have to find a groom first, heh. ;P

good you have a backup, mine has just corrupted the db tables and since that ‘documentation’ is in a shared hosting and I don’t keep a backup, it is considered lost. ha ha ha and another ha, and back to work 😉

Hi Harlot, couldn’t agree with you more. We weren’t able to sleep until the site was up and running. We kept checking on it as if it was a patient LOL Anyway, thanks for dropping by the blog and for the kind words 😀
Kinchan, that sucks 🙁 Go get your own server 😉 hahaha.

@mimi
actually I do have my own server, it’s just that this particular wiki site has been overlooked by laziness and busy holidays. i am actually looking at the lost as an opportunity for me to document properly so when I resign, my company won’t be left clueless. sometimes I regret of not using writely (now googledocs) rather than showing off with some wiki that is dependent on some indians maintaining the system like an airsoft battleground.
btw, i liked the m+k trademark, it’s like Marithé + François Girbaud 😉
