Woops

It may be the case that during the last software update, I neglected to check the behaviour of a new FTP client I was using, and deleted the images folder that hosts the post images for this site. It may also be the case that I didn’t have backups of these images.

I’ve not lost data due to lack of backups in five odd years, since I constructed a vastly improved backup infrastructure/version control system. As such, I’m refusing to confirm this latest idiocy.

On the plus side, these hypothetical lost images are not of great import.

Code update

As another preparatory step, the code base for this site has been replaced by the most recent WordPress release (10,000 versions newer than my last, give or take a few). The shiny new theme is provided free by Tommaso Baldovino; I have the graphic design skills of a blind snail, so the provisioning of free work by talented designers is a true blessing.

Comments are now being checked by the built-in WordPress Akismet spam checking engine. If anyone has any trouble, just drop me a line.

Cleanup

I’ve been expunging some site noise recently; defective posts that link to things that never happened. I’ve left the vast majority of the content (even when I really dislike what I wrote), but I wanted to remove the temporal references that point to nowhere (“I’ll post this then”, but didn’t).

A good education in what sort of posts don’t work, and preparation for writing again!
