One Step Forward, Fifteen Steps Back
Today had four reasonable goals:
- Be able to send email from the new apartment using Mac’s Mail app
- Switch nerdmatic.com’s theme from it’s modified version of Vikiwork’s Infinity to a modified version of Tudinh’s Equilibrium.
- Finish and post an illustration I started on Wednesday
- Write a quick post about why I love the Watchmen but am totally unenthusiastic about the movie.
Today has had four unique outcomes:
- While tweaking my host’s mail settings, I accidently deleted nerdmatic.com’s database. Oooops.
- After 3 hours of trying, eventually restore the posts and comments, albeit with oodles of fancy new mystery formatting & characters and a complete disappearance of all the preview thumbnails.
- After 2 hours of trying, give up on being able to send mail via Mail. At one point, wasn’t able to receive mail. Upon restoring that, I took the “win” and moved on.
- Marking 282 of the 289 posts “private” because I ran out of time and didn’t implement & debug some critical functionality.
Hopefully tomorrow will be less of an atomic wedgie.
