Comments for Beaufort County NOW had a Near Catastrophic Day, but we are Recovering (Updated - Recovered) | Eastern North Carolina Now

By sometime Sunday, January 31, we will have mixed in all of the recovered posts that we found, and are now sitting unpublished, waiting to be reintroduced.

For all of our contributors that are also sitting in the queue, or still in my e-mail, just know that I aim to clear away all of this backlog so your posts will not be masked, or weighed down by the last reintroduction of the recovered lost posts.

Thanks Alex.

I am still working on it, and still finding lost posts when I have time.

Remarkably, the internet believes that these are new posts, once they are re-submitted, and this months traffic represents that they are re-accepted as significant posts.

Servers and their software are kind of like the human body - a complex thinking machine - that can be very fallible, but with the proper guidance can be saved and improved.

I'm glad you see this B.T. I wish we had backed up more of recent, rather than importing to another surrogate site: pittcountynow.com ; because that did not work out so well.

One must learn from their mistakes, as we continue to do, or cry often, and I am not so good at that whole crying thing. There is no crying in online publishing!

When I was a commissioner, I use to believe that when it it did not go one's way in governing (especially for a Conservative in a non Conservative community), one learned something, and moved past it a little, but also: There is no crying in governing!

An then now, there is Blubbering Barack. That may create a whole new paradigm for Socialist Liberals.

Once piece of good news.

My No. 1 Guy says that we no longer need to move to another more expensive, but far slower server. Our current faster server, where we wish to remain (it has a solid state hard drive, which are difficult to locate elsewhere), does not have a control panel, which makes controlling the server more difficult; however, my No. 1 Guy has created a fix. In the recent past, session files were building up to the point that it did, literally, choke the service from the server, thereby, ultimately, corrupting 10 of our database tables in the bargain.

Now, we have discovered a means to clear the session files, daily if desired, and we will complete back-ups weekly, or twice weekly, of our entire site, and all should be well. We will be vigilant to do this, so northeastern North Carolina's top site shall run smoothly as intended from here on out.

Servers are a pain in the ass, but that is how the internet works. Servers are its backbone.

We are about 90% complete here, with clean-up the emphasis.

If anyone has a post that is lost, please notify me with the title and there is about a 80% chance that I will be able to find it somewhere, and fairly fast, so you will not be putting me out.

1. We are still in the process of locating lost posts, but if you see that we have not found yours yet, you may re-upload it or send it to my e-mail.

2. The front page will seem pretty weird for about one more week since I will be organizing the found posts and re-submitting them to the Search engines. I will continue to push newer posts to the top for quite a while during and after this process.
