It must have been the red baron

I walked downtown today, and suddenly I saw.... red baron!

I see a Red Baron and want to paint it black.

mother fuggle I wish this MySQL dump went faster

Very crappy to hear. Thanks for backing it up for the 'just in case' scenario. I suspect the pics are stored in a binary format, large, and big to backup. The text would be a minimal part.

Thnx for taking so much effort to keep the blog alive.
The blog was really something to hold on while waiting for the Panda

Speaking of Engadget

Look who has joined the party

You don't realize it until you read some of these comments that Pandora-enthusiasts are pretty sensitive.

the pics are stored in a directory (wp-content), along with plugins, themes, etc. the main thing that's making this take so long is the 800 spam blogs which I marked as spam but never deleted. I want to make sure this works right so I'm getting everything

Any idea when the blog will be back up and running?

What actually went wrong?

Apparently atomicthumbs' hosting provider broke everything installing some software.

I've done an emergency post on the old blog. http://openpandora.wordpress.com/

Wow, they could not have chosen a more critical time, could they? Hope it's back up soon, it's THE most important source of information on Pandora (well, apart from the official page, that is).

Fuck this is a nightmare.

Well, something has to go wrong to fuel and make it look like a scam!
Oh look it's shipping, wait the blog has disappeared uhmmmmm.......

Fuck this is a nightmare.

It would be up by now but today is my brother's 15 birthday. I did work on it at school though, so it balances out. I might be able to get it going tonight

 

[gruso]

Keep fighting the good fight. Go easy on the shirley temples. Happy bdiddy to your bro.

Thanks for the hard work mate

+1, thanks AT. Will keep my hands off until it's ready to let me log in.

Oh, don't worry about the sidebar stuff either. Probably time all that high maintenance custom stuff got the boot, I'll look after the widgets.

1:22 AM. must sleep. blog will remain locked down until I can get the database properly sorted out (tomorrow, hopefully).

 

[gruso]

No worries.
