Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

Have I mentioned lately how much I hate doing development work on a live server when construction has been going on five feet over our apartment now for going on two months? Doesn't help that I'm just getting over influenza either (ok, the flu, thanks a lot daycare)… In any case, in a moment of cosmic timing, two years to the day after implementing a hit counter mine just got zero'd because of a test account occupying and then unoccupying my user slot. The counter was at two and a half million hits, but I think my ego is going to be ok without having to manually reset it. Ok, that's not true. RESET.

With an “office” like this, is it any wonder that
I occasionally accidentally lose my own user file?

I want to take this opportunity to again remind people about the backup tool which can give you a text printout of your entire diary. While I do my best to keep your data safe — it's on a nice RAID array — there are no guarantees, and everything you have stored here could vanish overnight. So I strongly encourage people to keep local copies of the writing!
