Human3rror is Broke.

yeahimawesome

I broke my blog. This is somewhat characteristic of me though… what sucks is that all my backups are apparently gone as well.

So, Human3rror is pretty much gone. All forms of media have vanished. All my WordPress Themes, all my pictures, videos, memories… I really didn’t have those saved.

Catastrophic loss.

I’m going to have to do some thinking about my “next steps” here.

***Update***

I’ve updated with a picture. Also like to make it clear that this is not all WordPress’s fault (2.8 Upgrade worked just fine on ChurchCrunch.com). I was toying with my server this morning. My backups are at at home on a local drive… but I’m thinking this might be an opportunity to “start fresh”… Who knows.

      They may charge him an arm and two or three legs for it.

  4. David June 11, 2009 at 2:26 PM #

    Eek!

    At least you filed this under Fun though… o.0

  5. t3xtual June 11, 2009 at 2:30 PM #

    Wow. I've done the same thing before. It's never fun…Can MT help you at all? I mean…for what they charge for hosting they should have a backup somewhere.

    Dude…sorry! That's a tough loss, but I know you will rebuild faster, stronger and even more cutting edge…can't wait to see what the new human3rror comes up with!

  8. anivus June 11, 2009 at 2:34 PM #

  11. Steven Rossi June 11, 2009 at 2:48 PM #

    Dang sorry about that dude.

  12. buchanan23 June 11, 2009 at 2:50 PM #

    bummer deal man. But knowing you (for the short time that I have) I am sure that this means you are 'bout to bounce back with something epic! Looking forward to what is coming with your new opportunity to recreate!

    You should've been in PR. You can "spin" anything!

  14. Nathan Edwards June 11, 2009 at 3:02 PM #

    Well done on the breakage!! What exactly did you do??… cos you obviously kept hold of the mySQL

  15. Seth June 11, 2009 at 3:03 PM #

    your tag "I Break Stuff" seems to be seeping with irony right now…

  16. human3rror June 11, 2009 at 3:06 PM #

    oh yes. indeed.

    From chaos opportunity; from the ashes will arise the Phoenix.

  19. Tyler_Braun June 11, 2009 at 3:24 PM #

    but ur THE-FREAKING-HUMAN3RROR. i'm sure you will figure it out.

  20. Daniel_Berman June 11, 2009 at 3:34 PM #

    I did the 2.8 upgrade last night on @IssacharNetwork and it went okay, but I know where your at. I have been consolidating content on my personal blog, under a better common theme, changing the url, and there may be more to come. Have fun John!

  21. AdrianRodriguez June 11, 2009 at 3:42 PM #

    Dang dude, super EPIC FAIL, but maybe for the best!

  22. Josh Wagner June 11, 2009 at 3:43 PM #

    Sorry to hear it dude. You never lose anything until you stop backing it up. Murphy's Law.

  23. duregger June 11, 2009 at 3:45 PM #

    #FIAL – Spin this into a re-branding strategy.

  24. Henry Zonio June 11, 2009 at 3:46 PM #

    oh no! now i'm gonna go paranoid and backup like crazy!

  25. chrisdat June 11, 2009 at 4:16 PM #

    First new post should be on how to automatically backup your blog!! I am so sorry to hear this. You are amazingly positive, considering the scope of your loss. I look forward to the fresh Human3rror.

    Thats what you get for crashing my my browser every day. Its called karma. Note: It crashed as I came here to leave this comment

  27. Phillip Gibb June 11, 2009 at 7:32 PM #

    oops, nothing like a clean slate eh?

  28. Jim June 11, 2009 at 9:04 PM #

    start from scratch

  29. Amanda_Sims June 11, 2009 at 10:43 PM #

    WOW. Did you run out of other things to break?

    No seriously, YIKES – but at least you're looking for the positive in it!

  30. ScottWilliams June 12, 2009 at 1:48 AM #

    Ouch… I was nervous prior to uploading 2.8 so I called Hostmonster and they walked me through backing my blog up… Sorry to hear that bro.

    come back singing the old LL Cool J tune… "Don't call it a come back, I've been hear for years!" bobbing your head. Still looking forward to hooking up!

  31. statedog June 12, 2009 at 2:26 AM #

    Great. It happened the day I was coming to download a few of your themes. Stinks a little for me. But I know it sucks a lot for you. Sorry, man.

  32. Brandon Cox June 12, 2009 at 3:32 AM #

    John, that stinks bigtime! But you have inspired me, and apparently others, to back up! Terribly sorry.

  33. techdrawl June 12, 2009 at 1:39 PM #

    Epic loss to the world. You had the best images and videos of just about any blog out there. You'll create many, many more :-)

  34. Mikes June 12, 2009 at 3:51 PM #

    I was really surprised when I checked your site today! It's not as beautiful as it was. But don't you worry, everything has a purpose under the sun.Change is good, change is for the better.

    You should be reading my blog. :P
