Last night I tried installing a plugin that did not work and play well with others.

Attempts to undo the damage to my database were fruitless, so I have dropped back to the my last known-good backup.

I’ve lost a few days of drivel (I don’t kid myself that my daily ramblings are deathless).

When I feel like another visit to MySQL hell, I might try to restore them, but, for now, I’m going to go do a crossword puzzle.

Normal blogging will resume sometime or other.

I have nothing but compliments for the tech support rep at GoDaddy who assisted me. In addition to pointing me to the right process for restoring the database, he took extra time to look up the possible cause of the error that was keeping the site from working properly.

Update:

I just finished testing the corrupt database from last night. If it were any more messed up and useless, it could join a Republican primary.

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.
