Human3rror is Broke.

Posted on June 11, 2009 by admin

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.

Eek!

At least you filed this under Fun though… o.0
t3xtual on June 11, 2009 at 2:30 pm said:

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.

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!

  Hopefully there's an "I fix stuff" in there somewhere too…

Daniel_Berman on June 11, 2009 at 3:34 pm said:

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!

Dang dude, super EPIC FAIL, but maybe for the best!
Josh Wagner on June 11, 2009 at 3:43 pm said:

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

chrisdat on June 11, 2009 at 4:16 pm said:

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.
scottim on June 11, 2009 at 2:32 pm said:

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!

Amanda_Sims on June 11, 2009 at 10:43 pm said:

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

No seriously, YIKES – but at least you're looking for the positive in it!
ScottWilliams on June 12, 2009 at 1:48 am said:

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!

  word up. back with a vengeance.
statedog on June 12, 2009 at 2:26 am said:

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.
- human3rror on June 12, 2009 at 2:39 am said:
  
  we'll be back.
Brandon Cox on June 12, 2009 at 3:32 am said:

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

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
