Pearls and piggies Disappointed and encouraged all at once
Apr 11

Really. Show the world that devil-may-care attitude. You know, that attitude that says, “You know what? I don’t back up my files on a regular basis! Because horrible system crashes can’t happen to me! I am Non System Wide Crash Man!”

If you’re wondering where that came from, let me enlighten you. As we at writingup all know, writingup.com has been suffering some… er… hiccups in service lately, which seems to be making all of the regulars around there skittish. You know, “What’s going on? Should we leave? How will anybody find me?” Which is odd, considering the last time I actually took the time to find someone, I was slapped with a fine and a restraining order.

But I digress. Anyway, I was jumping on the bandwagon, as I am wont to do. Horrified that all twelve of my regular readers might be unable to obtain a wolf-fix at the drop of a hat, I started setting up a mirror blog. (This one, if you’re wondering.) And once I got it set up, I didn’t want a brand new, empty blog. You know, in case somebody wandered by, I wanted the thing to have a ‘lived-in’ look.

But since I have never, ever, ever saved any of my blog entries, transferring them to my new blog requires hard work and discipline, things that I often avoid. I am forced to log into writingup, click on all of my blog entries one by one (which, incidentally, gives me more reads - hooray!) and copy the text into my new blog. It’s time consuming, and, quite frankly, sucks.

I’m not leaving anytime soon, though, unless the site goes down in flames. ‘Cause that would mean changing all of my bookmarks, too. Whaddya want from me? Blood?
