Wondering WTF happened? Wondering why we seemed to have gone back in time? Well, the explanation is rather simple.
I’m an idiot.
I migrated from one hosting system to another. I run regular backups of my MySQL database.
Well, apparently there was a field in one of the wordpress databases that the mysql backup application didn’t like. So as it dumped the contents of the database, it hit this particular record and then stopped. So the backups are frozen in time.
By the time I figured this out, I had purged all the data off my old server.
Woops.
Ensign Tony, Didn’t Anyone Tell You To Test Those Backups?
I’ll be reconstructing the old articles as best I can. But for now, enjoy Picard’s epic facepalm.
