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&#8217;m such an incurable packrat I added these updates to the weblog. That&#8217;s why there are those <a href=\"https:\/\/wastinaway.net\/shortfatguy\/category\/music\/buffett\/\">seemingly random entries<\/a> between June 2000 and October 2001. (I also added a couple old entries to my <a href=\"https:\/\/wastinaway.net\/archives\/buffett\/index.html\">Buffett<\/a> weblog.)<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; 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 <i>their<\/i> cached copy. I thought that was pretty darned clever, although I&#8217;m still missing one or two messages.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; I tried to correct a few things over the weekend on my guestbook but did more bad than good.
