Oops

or How to wipe out three years worth of articles

Oh well.  You'd think I'd learn to take backups.  One of those jobs I always meant to "get around to" was create a backup cycle for the web pages, and in particluar Musings...

It's too late now, at least for the articles.  You'd think I'd learn not to tinker at 3 in the morning, too.  One overlooked missed keystroke, and I just wiped out every single article.  Some I just managed to retrieve from various alternate sources, but most are gone forever, unless I rewrite them - which in some cases would be impossible anyway, as I can't remember what I've written about.

One word somes it all up, beautifully: bugger!
