I got back from China last Friday and have spent the weekend getting Yusmith back up and running. It seems that we had an issue the likes of which only high level guys like Mark Zuckerberg and guys like that have. My server crashed, which is normally not a huge deal, it’s happens about once a year. This time though it happened right in the middle of a WordPress update thus making the great Yusmith site non existent after I had repaired the server. My server has 4 2T hard drives configured in a Raid array to protect for 1 drive to fail. Which it does. When one fails you pull out the dead drive and replace it and the system rebuilds itself.I this case what it rebuilds did not fix the problem because the failure occurred just as WordPress was updating itself and its configuration file was lost and the php database that keeps track of everything could not be accessed.So after the 24 hours to rebuild everything I then had to download the archived backup I keep updated at an Amazon backup service downloaded and installed which took another 24 hours so the world was without Yusmith for over 48 hours. But now it is safe and I can update the 10 anniversary party for Sepstar, the trip to Beijing and the new apartment. So to hold you over until then her is another menu item from the neighborhood restaurant.
Before the picture it turns out This was still not fixed and another 2 days of fiddling with the software to finally get it fixed so here you go the offical return of Yusmith, the black hole of the web.
