Miles is walking!

Miles pretty much cried through the whole thing.

Hehe. Poor babies.

Nothing you could do but laugh, really.

Punked up with holy water.

A traditional Indo feast followed at the Murphy residence. So so good!

Jamie outdid herself again with this creation for the kids.

Last night’s party.

On topic, sort-of, went to Allens/Billy Blue yesterday to pick up a bargain on a left-handed bass and amp as they’re having a liquidation sale, but the entire shop was empty. Serves me right for thinking that their sale wasn’t going to be “for real”. I ended up getting a guitar stand that’ll hold 2 guitars, some nice leads too, all 60% off.

Snapped this shot of a piece Nanami’s working on at the moment. 2 days in, it’s looking great! She’s just added a few more prints to her shop too, visit: http://www.nanamicowdroy.com/shop/

Love this! Pretty smart!

Yup.

So yesterday morning a few people reported issues with JDMST not loading right. I failed to see any problems, but after some trial and error I noticed an advertising banner was screwing up the entire forum, at this point I’d already ripped a lot of hair out and attempted to rebuilt and optimise tables in the backend. Unfortunately for me something crapped out when rebuilding some tables… fair call as JDMST is a MASSIVE forum, this in turn totally destroyed something. People were not able to see new posts, some couldn’t make posts… nightmare.

I googled hard, and harder, no luck. I ended up contacting some developer friends, no luck there either (they were all too busy). I contacted the host in the USA and they suggested I revert to a previously backed up snapshot of the forum. Problem is the backup was 4 days old. I did it, as it had to be done, but all posts made in the past 4 days were lost, all private messages too and this has obviously upset a fair few people (members and traders as well).

On the one hand I’m glad everything is working as it should again. Daily backups could be worth the extra $$$ perhaps, but then again it’s not the kind of thing that happens a lot (and it was my fault in the first place!).
