WordOfWarning: nevernevernever delete database files if you’re not 110% sure they’re not being used. I decided to be smart and do a personal backup of my site (since I had been lazy and hadn’t been doing that). I was “cleaning up” my site files before doing the backup and accidentally deleted the wrong file. Amazing, I know, stupid me – the system even asked if I was sure I wanted to delete it, ha – as soon as I clicked yes, my brain somehow turned on and told me “crap, that was the database for the BLOG!“. That makes WordOfWarning2: backup first!! (yeah, I know that’s two words, I can count, I just can’t delete). Luckily the hosting company had some backup, so I only lost part of June and July.
I will be 110% more careful and am glad to be back.

Nice to meet ya, Mark! Knowing your interests (and where I’ve seen you around), I’m sorry I don’t have any fitness stuff up – that was lost unfortunately. There should more someday though.
