Earlier today, I hopped on the Web and found that JBdN was back. Gleefully I wrote a post about it in my email program, as I usually do (it has a good spellcheck program). Here is that earlier post:

As I’m sure you noticed, we were down for the past day or so. But, surprise surprise, everything A-OK now, Dr. Jones. AxisHost had a hardware failure, so everything went poop for a bit. They’re a really good company, so they’ve responded to my emails very quickly and hurried their asses up to get me and, like, a million other people up and running.

I left work early today. I’d gotten everything accomplished that I wanted to do, and we were slow as fuck, so leaving seemed like the fun thing to do. I’m getting ready to go work out, then head to Tim Horton’s and finish editing “Corporate Responsibility” and start something new.

And it’s sunny out, to boot!

Huzzah, what a happy and cheerful post! I clicked on the link to Movable Type homepage and was immediately presented with a white screen and a message: “Got an error: Bad ObjectDriver config: Connection error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client.”

Bad things were afoot in JBdN-land.

My mind immediately sprang back to that terrible October of 2003, when an entire month’s posts were lost to a great fuck-up. I emailed Tina at AxisHost, who in all her awesomeness, fixed the problem while I was at Tim Horton’s.

So all is well, nothing was lost, and I’ve got stuff to do.
