I tried to correct a few things over the weekend on my guestbook but did more bad than good. I was editing an older version of it, so when I uploaded the changes I ended up erasing the last four months of messages! (Not only did I screw up the editing but I also failed to make a backup copy before I enacted the change.) So, today, I spent a few hours trolling through my laptop, hoping to find a recent copy of the guestbook in my cache. Instead, I found a bunch of old updates from my old homepage. Since I’m such an incurable packrat I added these updates to the weblog. That’s why there are those seemingly random entries between June 2000 and October 2001. (I also added a couple old entries to my Buffett weblog.)I never did find a new enough copy of my guestbook. But I came close to solving the problem when I got the idea to search for my guestbook on Google and use their cached copy. I thought that was pretty darned clever, although I’m still missing one or two messages.
Nice try, man. But adding a bunch of old leftover junk that nobody read the first time is not gonna make it. Update this page with some quality writings. Now!
