Okay, all is not lost. I’ve bee digging through my files, and despite the fact that I’ve been very bad about not backing up, I did manage to find a backup I made earlier this semester. The stuff on it is far from current, but most of my web files are there, so I’ll be putting up a new homepage at http://ubets.uark.edu/~jemartin (there’s one there now, but it’s just a placeholder). This comming week, I’ll be working on recovering files from the crashed hard drive on lithe.uark.edu, but I’ll also be working on reconstructing my pages from these backups. The site needed some redesign anyway (since I’m using PHP now and since I’m gettin bored of looking at it), so maybe it’s not a bad thing even if I can’t recover the lithe hard drive. But it is going to mean a lot of work on my part. Luckily, most of the staff is going to be out of town on a trip, so I should have some uninterupted time to lock into deep code mode and fix things up.
From here on out, I’m implementing backups on a daily basis. I’ll back to Zip drive until I can get the tape backup up and running. But I’m thinking a CD-Burner would be the best solution for my personal files. I’ll see if I can swing one of those.
Enough for now…
