Out With the Old, in With the "All Files Lost."

A word to all web developers:

"Do not accidentally delete your hosting settings in your web admin." Try as you may to convince yourself that it is fun, socially "COOL," or even a mark of a daring web admin who likes to flirt on the edge of disaster, the truth remains— it'll suck really bad when it happens.

Here's why: You'll lose everything. All of your precious hard work = gone. Now, fortunately, I had put off building a fancy-pants website for my personal business, Morris Creative. Truth be told, I had a premonition that this was going to happen... Okay, so not really. The fact is, I spend so much time working on projects for clients that my own personal site always gets neglected (I was the type of person in elementary school that spent so much time taking care of other kids' gigapets or digipets that my own died. Fortunately, all you had to do was push a little button with a paper clip to reset it and start with a fresh, baby digipet). 

What am I trying to get at? I'm mad I lost all of those files. Computers are like golf: When things are going well, they bring out the best in you, and motivate you to do better. When things go wrong, your worst characteristics surface and you want to pull out your hair.

Oh well though. At least I still have my precious blog. Even server crashes aren't above following constitutional rights regarding freedom of speech.
