Back in black (more site news)

Oh no!

You will, no doubt, be thrilled to know that my unplanned 'maintenance work' is now complete and that the blog is working at full speed again. I have restored all of the posts I lost (mostly in the correct order), checked the permalinks and so on and everything seems to be working.

However, I lost pretty much all of the comments from the last week (though I re-posted some of them Google's cache) as well as my blog roll (which will take an hour or so of annoying copy/pasting to restore). This is not, as some have suggested, a wild attempt at censorship. It was more the result of a situation where by the time I realised what kind of problem I had, it was already too late to back-up my data.

Tip to fellow WordPress users: set up a cron (or use a plugin) to backup your site automatically at least once a week. I recommend the WP-DB-Backup plugin which allows you to schedule backups and have them emailed to you automatically.

Right that's enough geek talk. I'll try and cover Tomas Delgado (the world's biggest arsehole) and silly tax rebates, later this evening.
