Just a headsup for those that read the iFelix Blog that there won't be any updates for a while as the software I use is on my PowerBook and the hard disk has just failed (without warning). |

The good news is that using Firewire Target Disk Mode (using the PowerBook as a firewire drive) means that I have managed to retrieve the Blog data files (as well as the more important other files on the PowerBook) and I am now trying to get the application to work on my other Mac. |

Hi Jimbo, To be honest, I never could get you blog to come up well and I have no idea why. I originally thought it was because I'm still stuck with dinosaur dial-up, but I tried to access your blog from a friend's PC with DSL and had the same problem. I wish you luck figuring things out. Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |

The problem is not the hosting, the blog there is working fine. The problem I have is with the raw data behind the blog and that is a different story. Potentially one solution is to re-input the data which would be nigh on impossible with over 650 entries... I have managed to retrieve a blog backup to the 17th December, so I would need to manually add about 20 entries... However I do have five blogs... |

Good news, I have managed to retrieve the all important blog data. I should be able to re-build the blog and publish new stuff before the end of the day. More importantly I have managed to salvage a lot of files from the PowerBook including some digital photographs which I would have otherwise lost. Moral of the story, always make a back up. |

I have now managed to salvage the most recent blog data and integrate it into the backup I had from the 17th December. The preview is working and I am now uploading the blog. You won't see any difference as I have not added any new entries. Once I have successfully published (which is taking it's time as it is publishing the full 50 odd MB again) I will be able to add new entries. |

It has now successfully published. Yeah. Now publishing my other blogs to check they're okay. |

Excellent work, and well done for being organised enough to recover from this. I know how on edge this kind of thing can make you feel!

Well I was a bit presumptuous and it wasn't actually okay. However after tweaking and a bit more testing I now have the Blog software working on the other Mac and I have been publishing this morning without issue. Looks like it is all now working. Isn't it nice that Apple have now released a new laptop... |

Having once lost a lot of data, I dropped my Toshiba Laptop on the floor and killed the hard drive, I now always work under the assumption that unless you have two copies of a computer file it doesn't actually exist... In the end I was lucky and could retrieve all the data from the dead PowerBook. However in recreating the blog on the new Mac I was able to replace virtually all the postings (five blogs over three years) and only lost about 12 postings overall (and as I had the information I could recreate and replace those very easily. Moral of the story, have a backup, always. |
