(System Stuff) Bloody 'ell!

g026r@hermod:/usr/lib/cgi-bin$ sudo rm test *
rm: cannot remove `test': No such file or directory
g026r@hermod:/usr/lib/cgi-bin$ ls
g026r@hermod:/usr/lib/cgi-bin$

This is why you shouldn't write up test scripts in your main CGI directory, folks.
Expect the page to look a little wonky for a while, since I'm not going to bother trying to fix it until tomorrow at the earliest.

Update: Everything should be working again.  Thankfully most of the scripts were just variations of the same thing.  I think I actually managed to fit a few extra SpeedyCGI improvements into them too.
All I can say is that I'm glad it was just stuff like this, and not like a certain friend of mine who managed to type rm * .class a few days before the assignment was due.

Daily backups, good sir.  Daily backups.

I managed to delete my careful financial records for the entire summer a couple days ago.  But I only lost a couple of transactions (which were easily re-doable) thanks to making a daily backup.

Also, what's with the username "g026r"?

Would you believe it's my UNB login ID?
I use it as I like to keep a consistent login name across domains whenever possible.

Daily backups are an idea, I should set up a cron script to do something with that.

I can send you my daily backup scripts, if you want.  They're not very complicated, but they would save you a little time.

I'd appreciate it.
You still have my email address?
