2022: Resolution
For the last few years, I’ve held the notion that if you don’t agree to set any New Years Resolution, you’ll never be disappointed with yourself. But if I’m totally honest, I kind of am disappointed with myself. Not that I could have done anything differently in 2021. I’m still adjusting as best as I can from the loss of my son Toby. But I’ve also noticed that as I protect myself from feeling overwhelmed from the PTSD associated with this loss, I’ve also separated myself from people and causes I care about. As I feel and see winter melting…

Always, ALWAYS, Make Backups
So. Here I am, tackling problem after problem with moving my test WordPress sites into a live environment. Very exciting! Suddenly, I hit a wall. My portfolio site has lost a ton of it’s metadata, with no clue as to where it went. Many post titles and linkages to gallery images simply reverted to NULL. What to do? Track down a backup? Not in this case… I never made a reliable one with the most up-to-date data. Hence the lesson of this entry. Always, ALWAYS, make backups of your data. No matter how seemingly insignificant. DO IT. While I have…
