Technology is a wonderful thing. A boon to us all, a time-saver and a wondrous miracle of information, communication and connection…
… when it works! :)
And when it doesn’t? It’s a pain in the proverbial, a huge time-eater and a frustrating, bang-your-head-against-the-wall monster of immense proportions!
That’s exactly what it’s been for me for the last three days.
I’d just completed a gazillion (well it felt like that, at the time) improvements and tweaks to all our sites. And our main BJ Seminars International site had gone through a major overhaul – new focus, new design, new content. The work on all the sites had been done mainly in an hour or few here and there – but the whole process had taken a couple of weeks.
I’d finally finished it all off, working late on Saturday night. I knew that, now it was done, a full backup of all sites was needed. But I was tired. And of course those backups could wait until the morning, couldn’t they?
Boy, was I wrong!
