The last ten posts I wrote, I really liked. Not sure if they would stand the test of time, but I felt good about them. I had a good run.
Then I lost all of them.
While I was seemingly great at writing, I was terrible at reading.
At reading the email announcing I needed immediately move my content to a new server that is.
But I published my posts to the old – soon to be wiped – server.
I had it coming. Feeling so smug about my writing that I didn’t even keep a copy.
I scan receipts and safe them on Evernote. All my photos and files are instantly backed up to my Dropbox. But I got too lazy to back up my writing.
As I considered this I decided not to contact the web host begging them to try to recover those posts. They wrote me five emails about the server move. So, no. I deserve the loss.
