UnSpace

Let's say a couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary and you ask them what they did to celebrate. Their reply was that they went for ice cream at Frosty Cones in Elizabeth, PA and then dinner and then watched the moon landing hoax debunking edition of Mythbusters.

Do not point out that they must have finished dinner by 6:30 p.m. and that Mythbusters didn't start until 9 p.m. and then ask "What else did you do?"

I don't think you really want that question answered.

When upgrading WordPress:

1. Make backups.
2. Deactivate the plugins.
3. Make another backups by a different methods in case the first backup is bad.
4. If something goes wrong, make sure plugins are deactivated.
5. Hey, it's cheap. Make yet another backup.
6. Make sure plugins are up-to-date.
7. Aw heck, make one more backup.

You might notice that over a year of UnSpace is now missing. I:

1. Made a backup.
2. Didn't deactivate the plugin.
3. Didn't make a second backup.
4. When something went wrong, I didn't make sure the plugins were deactivated.
5. I do have a damaged file that MySQL won't open because it's damaged.
6. A plugin wasn't up-to-date, and that was causing the problem.
7. My next earlier backup was from July of last year.

I might be able to salvage the posts and comments if I can find some way of opening a damaged MySQL file.

Live and learn.
