August 6th, 2003

After coasting on such a high for the last couple of days, I’m now in a
terrible, terrible low. Something happened on our database last night that
deleted all the data I’ve got in MySQL, which includes the dsandler.org page
cache (that’s why this is so slow for you right now) and my wife’s entire
website content (all her synopses and blog entries).

I don’t think it’s my fault (I have a support ticket in right now), but
regardless, I feel like such utter crap. And it’s not even 9:00.

Erin, I’m really, really sorry.
