Meta: Down at the Farm 0

I woke this morning to a broken blog. The error message told me that one of the database tables needed repair.

Quick like a bunny, before even having a cup of coffee, I logged into my hosting provider, started phpMyAdmin, and ran a check, repair, and optimize on on the primary database. (As a matter of routine, I do a check, repair, and optimize, as well as a database backup, at least once a week, ever since I had major database crash back when this blog was still a toddler.) The process took less than two minutes.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
