Server go crash

Server went crash, site go boom. Backup to restore will be slow to appear as I am choosing to take this time to redesign maveno.us. Anyway, I have restored most of the resources that were popular, and will be updating everything to be fully HTML5 / CSS3 supported in all browsers. As time permits, updates will be made.

Fool me once again, shame on me…

So for the past month and a half I've been working on an update for the labs, the CSS3 and HTML5 examples, and a nice little wordpress plugin for reading in github projects, and creating code examples and displays so long as they were formatted according to the mootools structural format.

Now... it's all gone. For what ever reason, Zend Studio decided I didn't need any of my project files anymore, and it ate them. That's the only explanation I've got. They're just gone. I was pretty sure I had a backup, and guess what? Yea... I'm dumb. I'm feeling pretty devastated right now; it's very, very disheartening. The worse part is that I had just completed more than half of the CSS3/HTML5 demos, and now they're gone.

The saddest part of this whole sob story? I have a perfectly good subversion sever setup that I use for all my other sites. Why wasn't maveno.us in there? Fuck if I know... Anyway, this wasn't the post I had planned for this weekend, but here it is.

*sigh*

How this is gonna work.

This article marks the introduction to my Becoming Mavenous series. A narrative chronicling the progression of maveno.us throughout its development. Here's the lowdown on the first few articles.
