System Down - I'm so sorry

[SteveColes]

I must really apologize. I did something very stupid and I still don't exactly what. I had to do a partial restore of the system, basiclly the the style and template system. I seemed to have a lot trouble doing it and then there was a step I didn't know about and I have been going around in circles for several hours.

It is still not correct, it seems a bunch of changes have been lost. I really need to find and restore them before they roll off the backup list.

Anyway the site is usable again and I will try to keep it that way.

I am so sorry, this was all my fault.:embaresse:embaresse:embaresse:embaresse:embaresse:gar-Cr:gar-Cr:gar-Cr:gar-Cr:gar-Cr:gar-Cr:cry_smile:cry_smile:cry_smile:cry_smile:cry_smile:cry_smile:slap::slap::slap::slap::slap::argue::argue::argue::argue::argue::XXfridge::new_blowi:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do:thumbs_do

Please feel free to use this thread to chastise me. Staff, please don't do what I just did.

I thought somebody else was loading an upgrade or learning the system.

Never, ever would have thought that was you.

Sorry you are having a hard time. But, I know you'll have it all straightened out in no time. :icon_thum

OK, mind off the turkey!!

Actually, I am really embarassed:embaresse. Now that I have the system back and see what was wrong., I have to find the right backup for the templates. Have to wait on the Datacenter people. Either theychaged were they keep the database backups, or they haven't been taking any since the end of November:elvis:

Steve,

If it was easy anybody could do it. You certainly don't owe us an apology. I can only imagine the number of hours you put in to keep this site running so smoothly. We're lucky to have you! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Thats ok Steve, but it did make for a long day at work. :rotflm:

Don't worry, be happy, Steve!

In a way, it's good for folks to see how heavily we lean on you.
Besides we could blame it on Bas or something :widea:
Please accept my Thanksgiving for what you do . . . now lay off the coffee and enjoy the holidays!

That's the thing with puters. They don't tell you when you are about to miss a step. I build applications for a living and always surprise myself by missing something. Did it at least twice today.
Thanks for maintaining this site and if there is anything I can do to help please let me know.
Steve

I thought I had clicked on sawmillcreek at first!

 

[DaveO]

Steve, you make mistakes:swoon:. I guess you really are human :gar-La;:gar-La;

I'm with Roger -- Blame it on Bas.:gar-Bi

Take the rest of the day off and enjoy the turkey, and the leftovers, and the leftovers .... Then take a nap.

We all have a lot to be thankful for this week, not the least is your work in keeping "our" site up and running.

Thanks for all that,
Ray

Steve don't you fret over it - we all mess up - I for one appreciate what you do for us on this great wood working site - thanks:icon_thum

 

[Canuck]

The last few hours have reinforced just how much I use and appreciate this fine site!

Don't fret too much there, Steve. I can probably count on just one hand, the number of times in the last three years that I have seen a problem!!:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc

Hang in there and I am sure that things will smooth out for ya!!:icon_thum:icon_thum

Thanks for all ya do to keep us in the communication loop!

And I thought my day went bad

Don't take is so hard, we all love this site and it's just like family, some days are better than others, but in the end we're all still family. Jim


BTW... I think my post count used to be 120,000 :wink_smil

I think the templates are right under the alternator, right next to the flux capacitor. :icon_scra :wconfused: :swoon:

I'm not sure what any of that means Steve, but don't sweat it. Everybody makes a mistake once in a while. :icon_thum

 

[CaptnA]

Mister Steve,
For what its worth, I think even with temporary problems we all got our money's worth from the site today - as every day! Wish I could afford to pay what this site is worth to me personally!
More than likely we'll all survive.
I bet you had to unplug the site long enough to use the microwave and coffeemaker at the same time, huh??:gar-Bi

 

[McRabbet]

I don't know, Steve... I was on at 1PM this afternoon and all seemed fine and now I log in at 8:30 and everything seems fine... Are you really sure you messed up? Sure fooled me... But thanks for fixing all of the mistakes that Bas probably really made... or was it Chad? :gar-Bi

That's it, Rob!

First of all: yes, it's probably Bas' fault.

Second of all: no one can repeat what you did if you don't know what you did!

Third of all: there's only two times you're not making mistakes-when you aren't doing anything, or you're dead! And you're not either.

Good job as always; don't sweat it Steve!:icon_thum
