Technical Difficulties II: Help?

This may be left to fate.

I guess that’s appropriate in a way, although, like most matters of fate and faith, I don’t like it one bit.

It seems that in the process of trying to get the main site to accept credit cards instead of the infernal paypal, the previous contents of the daily doodle have been sent to cyberspace forever.

Never mind the fact that I was told by everyone involved that the content would be saved…I was assured of that during every switch by everyone involved. Numerous times…ad nauseum infinitum. (That’s Steve-latin for a shitload of times)

I asked, “Are you sure?”

“Yep, No problem.”

Uh-huh.

Yeah, right.

And not 3 minutes ago, by two different english-challenged technical advisors, I was informed that, “When you are switching of the packages you are switching of the platforms and you are deleting of the connection to the server.”

So now I have a real nice case number, and not a lot of hope.

What about the FBI going into the landfill and getting Ken Lay’s email? Maybe this isn’t that important, but it is to me.

So, if any of ya’ll kept any of that juicy goodness in a cache or a backup or whatever, lemme know. I’d sure love to see some of that stuff again…

Steve
