Lost a Website

When I restored my web server installation, I lost a couple of websites. Ward called me up to tell me.

I had to restore one of the sites from the Wayback Machine, which is a website archiver. The site used Wordpress, but the pages that I got were flat webpages, which is fine with me. I used a scraper that runs under Ruby, which I have never used. I installed it and it worked just fine. There was only one screwy entry, and I think that was from the Wayback Machine and the way it stores the websites.

So I had to spend New Year’s morning messing with stuff that I only half remember.
