| Posted 6/6/2002 4:50 AM (GMT -6) |   | Adiaphora, unless it is just a peculiarity of the accursed computers at my house, it seems that a bunch of posts written this morning, from all over the board, have been deleted. Both Doc and I replied to Brett's thread here on Board Related Questions and Comments, for example, but it shows no responses. And Doc's response to Mephi's Pascal's Wager thread, as well as several others, appears to be gone.
Let me know if this is all a dream, a psychotic break brought on by recent technological meltdowns at our house - one can only withstand the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH and complete loss of files and operating system so many times before insanity ensues.
Thanks,
Semeia

| Posted 6/6/2002 5:17 AM (GMT -6) | |  That IS serious! I’m not sure what happened, but I know we had a little work left to do on the database, and if you happened to post in the midst of that, it’s possible things could have been lost in the shuffle…I’ll see what I can do…
Later,

I just received the official diagnosis for the mysterious missing post symptom: “server burp.” Hey, at least we know it wasn’t the dreaded “BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH”!
Bad news: Unfortunately, we are not able to recover the posts missing from this morning.
Good news: We are totally done tweaking the database for the discussion board upgrade, so we should not experience anymore post-deleting “burps.”

| Posted 6/6/2002 9:57 AM (GMT -6) | | So who's going to tell Doc? He had 5 or 6 posts, one of them fairly lengthy, all posted during that time. What do you think the chances are that they were backed up? 
I'm relieved to know that I'm not going mad, or at least that the proof is not conclusive.
And Brett, did you see the posts on your WHC thread before they were deleted? Doc said for you to make sure to seek him out before or after the service. And I mentioned that we've been going to the Saturday night service, but we would try to come to the Sunday one that you will be at, and are looking forward to meeting you!
Thanks,
Semeia

Oops, I didn't see your post. But I answered your question anyway! Doc also asked which service you would be at (I guess he didn't see where you said the 11:00 service). At least I think you said that.
Thanks,
Semeia

| Posted 6/6/2002 10:07 AM (GMT -6) | | That's great! Semeia, I would definitely like to meet you and Icon if at all possible, so I appreciate you changing your normal church-going schedule for us. As far as I know, we'll be going to the 9am service on that Sunday morning (if that changes, I'll let you know).
I'm glad Doc will be there that Sunday. As much as I like his guest speakers, I must confess to always being a bit disappointed when he isn't preaching (especially since I only get to visit two or three times a year).
Brett

I’m pretty sure the posts were not backed up. I will double-check.… adiaphora

Two hours of life, thought, investment
into thin air
------------
moments of futility
give our soul-sight clarity
checking our proclivity
to rest in false stability
no back up, none of it saved, gone forever, as the scripture says... computer postings are like the grass, here today, tomorrow thrown into oblivioun (rough paraphrase of James)
All I can say is: Meph, you should have read it (on the Pascal thread): you was TOTALLY REFUTED. Now, you'll just have to trust me. You're wrong

Seriously, I hope nothing terribly wrong is occuring with the board. We'd better start backing up, eh?

| Posted 6/7/2002 4:12 PM (GMT -6) | | Even Moses had to redo the ten commandements—and those were posted in stone, not cyberspace. At least you don’t have to hike back up a mountain and go on another 40 day fast to repost…
Seriously though, I am very sorry to those of you who lost posts, and to Brett, who missed out on what people had to say about his visit next weekend.
Please be assured that the burp was related to the final tweaks of the board upgrade—the upgrade is now completely finished. However, even when the board is running perfectly, it is always a good idea to write your posts in Word so you can save them—and what the heck, maybe even spell check them…
