^ Damn man, that's some edge of your seat action right there. I'd have flipped.
Stuff like that has happened to me in the past though, so I'm a religious back-up fanatic. I save 2 redundant copies of absolutely anything important when it comes to computer/servers/etc. Been down that road too many times not to.

See what happened was that I was trying to make a new website live...and prior to changing some configurations, I needed to delete the old site files (that were backed up), and move the new site and database to the root directory. Well somehow when deleting the old site, I deleted the new site and database, EVERYTHING!!! :confused: :yikes: Everything poof gone! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! OMG!! This stuff was NOT backed up, as it didn't really have a reason to be, I was just going to move it from one folder to another. But anyway to make a long story short I jumped on the phone with the host and said HELP MOTHER FUCKER I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY FILEZ OH NOES!!! And so in his usual calm voice he said hmm email me the path to the directory and I'll see if there's a backup. IF THERE'S A BACKUP! I said cool, I know it's late Friday so just take a look when you can, at least the old site is still up. I was nearly ****ting bricks though because if these files are lost, that means a good solid week of work to rebuild it. Working on nothing but THAT. So I'm like am I gonna have a ****ty weekend, thinking about this? This is bad! My boss will be mad! The account manager will be mad, the CLIENT will be mad! :mad: I will be mad and sad. SO I'm having dinner at the computer (I got some Chinese food) and I decide to check the site, maybe the files were restored, and HOLY ****ING **** it is there! The files have been restored! My ass is NOT grass, I will live!!! Now I can have a more relaxing weekend.

Aside from that it was a chill day, I even laid out by the lake on my lunch break and read a bit, same just after work, after this disaster happened and I was worried...had to try to decompress. Anyway **** I've typed too much. I'm supposed to go to bed early tonight, going to hike on Mt. Rainier tomorrow early. No time for a movie I guess. Who the fuck cares? I'd be surprised if anyone's still reading at this point. And I just came from the thread about swearing so I felt like swearing a lot.

Holy crap.... that sounds like the one day with the potential to take years off your life...

My day today (Saturday) was great.... slept in, spent oodles of time with my daughter who missed the heck outta me this week while i was gone so long at work... and now I am just chilling out on here, looking at the new netbook I wanna buy in a couple of weeks... the Sony Mylo is a great device, but man it's drawbacks to internet use are just getting too intolerable, the lack of flash, and memory in general... plus I wanna go back to streaming Aussie radio, which it won't do, and which i can do with a proper "computer" instead of a handheld Internet device... Time for a new era...

I ate an ice cream cone at 5 a.m. seems like the highlight of my day.

Right now is proving to be the highlight of my day... just sittin' and chillin', with beer.... kids are either in bed sleeping or at friend's houses... feels good to be able to kick back.... life's good tonight.

Scottsy, you should throw a BBQ tomorrow, brotha.
Got work, or no?

I'm still trying to find some expanded metal for use with my pit. My grilling days are on stall at the moment.
I long for a grill out though.
I'm just not able to do so at the moment, so if you can, at least tell me how awesome it was.
;)

Working in the afternoon, but hey that wouldn't exclude a breakfast barbecue.... one of the best kinds possible!

Today I went to Isengard and also the river where Aragorn washed up after falling. Good times.

Have you been to the Shire yet...?

Not yet, that area is way up in the North and I'm further South. I hope I get around to seeing it though, apparently they are currently extending hobbiton for the filming of The Hobbit though.

I kinda regret never travelling to NZ when I lived in Australia, it seems like such a beautiful destination, with much to do and see... My friends all went as a group, but at the time i was waaaaaaay broke and saving for the costs of my US Resident Visa.... as always, I have no regrets, but if the opportunity to visit there ever emerges... it would be great.
