IF you want to build a ship, don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.

the bumbling blogger

April 22, 2008

i was trying to upload a new theme for my other site (the Signpost) through FileZilla when i realized that i’ve made a couple of stupid mistakes: (1) i’ve forgotten to unzip the whole thing; (2) i’ve uploaded it on the wrong subdirectory.

so being the techno-savvy blogging genius that i am, i got fired up with the idea that i would delete the said folder first, then upload it again. sounds simple and straightforward, right?

well think again. me being the trigger-happy DELETER of files that i am (there is something vaguely satisfying about sending a pixelized collection of data into oblivion), i blithely blocked several docs — not realizing that i’ve included several other files as well – and hit the "delete" button without a second thought. a few seconds later, the predictable outcome occurred. my site crashed!

i went through 10 minutes of freaking out: gaping stupidly at the screen = 1 min, groaning and cursing myself = 4 min, attempting to salvage my mistakes = 3 min, screaming for help (thru text message) @ 4 am to zarine = 2 min. i was all set to fire an SOS email to tech support, when mercifully zarine texted back (she was still awake — yayy!). after a few minutes’ tweaking, she finally got everything fixed.

whew! what an idiot. my debt to zarine (thanks again) is piling up and it looks like this won’t be the last of it. oh man.

Share and Enjoy:
