Server Problems…
Sigh. New server’s drive died, so I got to go through the process of re-installing everything for the second time in a few days. And the new backup looks to be corrupted, so I’ve lost the last few days of posts and comments.
Working on recovering that. Here’s hoping…
Update: It’s dead, Jim.
I’ve lost all posts and comments entered since Saturday morning. Sorry to everyone affected. I’ll do my best to be more careful going forward.
Later update: Yian, to whom I would propose marriage, if I’d ever actually met her, and if both of us weren’t already happily married, forwarded me her newreader’s lies.com rss feed, so I’ll be able to recreate the posts that Hossman (to whom I would also propose marriage, were it legal, and etc.) hasn’t already recreated. So look for that. Thanks, y’all.
Still later update: Looks like the only one still missing is “Onward Superchristian Soldiers,” which I can probably live without. And in light of a commenter’s complaint about my having “censored” the discussion, I’ve been shamed into doing my best to restore the nuked comments from the separate (emailed) records I have of those.
Sigh. Yo, Jaybird: Yes indeed I certainly do want to fork over the extra bucks for the mirrored disk. Sheesh.

How convenient, this little “server problem”. Somebody save their browser cache from yesterday and start scouring it for coded messages for al qaeda/saddam/michael moore. We can’t let the October surprise come in the form of a mushroom cloud, folks.

I checked the caches on both of my boxes, and i couldn’t find any cached pages from lies.com.
Google also won’t provide a cached link for most lies.com pages.
I think it’s because of this header…
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate
(it’s being sent along with WordPress generated URLs, and google doesn’t provide cache links for any of them. The only URLs google *does* provide cache links for are the non-WP URLs, which *do* show up in my mozilla cache).

Yeah. Thanks for checking, anyway. I appreciate the effort.
