Our Servers Hard drive Failed
PLEASE REPORT ALL BUGS HERE
Recently our servers hard drive failed on Aeonity January 13th 2006, but luckily we backed up our database on January 3rd of 2006.
Basically what this means is that 10 Days of blogging information is gone, along with other various content areas. Jim and I will be addressing this issue on Monday with our hosting company, and hopefully that can some how get compensated.
Right now its 3:18 AM CST and Aeonity is missing various areas on the website. If you notice any errors, please post them here.
WE'RE PISSED!

It's ok, we spent the last 6 days about 3 hours a day updating Aeonity with more content and features. Now its gone. The only thing that we can do that is in our budget is start over from the 3rd. If we had the money, their is no doubt that we would have the hardware sent back to us and at that point we could try a recovery ourselves. But right now its not in our budget. Monday I will be contacting our webhosting about this incident and Im sure they will credit us for a couple of months of service. Again, we are sorry.

Yea, well it was harder than it is said. Aeonity's DB is over 100MBs thats a large database. The average is only about 10MBs maybe. But we are doing that now.

That's a lot of work. Maybe you guys should add a button for voluntary donations
Similar to what the developer of Spybot did.

As for bugs, my last entry would not preview. I haven't tried to see if it's fixed. Maybe later.
