Ooops.. whilst upgrading I managed to completely kill all the journals... Fortunately I have a complete site backup from the 16th March, so I've just had great fun searching through a 600meg database file to find the correct sections to recover the journal.. Result is that any journal related entries between the 16th and today (20th) have been lost. Very sorry about that.

Aww Marg, all your work gone. Never mind at least some of us got to read it, but this doesn't mean we don't want to know how it ends. So get scribbling lol

Petz have gone on holiday to New Zealand to find lettie and sparkologist. I don't know when they will get back!

Maybe this could be a lesson to us all, without me sounding flippant.
I suppose that anything stored electronically isn’t really guaranteed to be permanent, for allsorts of reasons. So it may well be a good idea for everyone who has spent hours of hard work composing their journals etc to make a back up so that if this sort of thing ever happens again we could then just re-insert what was lost.
I really do sympathise for those who have lost some of their hard work and efforts.

now, now, roy , the last time the petz went on holiday, they had a right rav up & took us a bit to settle them down, how long will they be gone for this time? & will they find lettie & sparks? mabe they will get lost ? wot are we going to do? ooo my poor little sam wandering all over the world aaaaaawwwww.

Margaret Pilkington · 20-03-2005, 14:21

With the Pets having gone walk-about too...... it means that I can go to Llandudno without fretting about Chewy.......I just hope he gets some gravy bones on his travels
