Have you noticed it's kind of bare here? Well, suffice it to say, the server where my blog "was" totally crashed, and that's pretty much that.

Luckily, I had all templates saved, and I had even gone into my account and downloaded what I thought was everything from my account. However, what I didn't know was that the hosting company had, about a month earlier, moved all data files to a different server because they thought something was wrong with one of their servers, but they didn't tell anyone they'd done it. So, when I had downloaded what I thought was everything, it was everything except my data files.

Anyway, I was crushed, but I had to think about whether I wanted to give up the ghost, or start again from scratch. So, I took a few days to think about it, and decided I still have things to say. There's also a possibility that I might be able to, in some way, recover a few things, and if that happens I'll post them anew. No sense in sitting around, pining forever on what was; time to move forward and continue trying to accomplish good things, both here and in life.

This is going to be a new beginning; doesn't mean I won't be the same guy. 🙂
