Two Blogs in One: A Good Hack Gone Bad

November 4, 2006 by Liz Leave a Comment

Two Blogs in One

On Tuesday Open Comment Nights while the comments are flying at one or more per second, Joe says Successful-Blog has a time warp. Come and see for yourself. He seems to be onto something. Yesterday I thought Is there a space warp too? It sure felt that way.

The problem started Thursday night — folks could see their own comments, but couldn’t see mine. Had I fallen out of my blog into a black hole? No, a server move met my way of finding unique problems to solve.

Not everyone could say they had two, two, two blogs in one.

Thank you, Jeremy for telling me what was going on. I didn’t know you were moving house, yet you stopped to find out, so I would know.

Thank you, HART for the screen shot of what you saw — it helped solve the problem with fewer words.

What I Saw What You Saw that HART Sent

A Good Hack Gone Bad

The smartest technology architect from b5media, who had plenty to do, Aaron Brazell saw that I was still on the old server blog. He found a forgotten hack in my computer. It was made months back to fix an issue I hardly remember.

Helpful hacks can be problems waiting to happen. This was a case of a good hack gone bad.

We deleted that hack. Suddenly, I was back on the blog inside your computer.
Thank you, thank you, Aaron. I so appreciate every minute you spent.

Gosh it’s great to be back. Yeah I know, most folks say I’m lost in space anyway. So what’s new?

–ME “Liz” Strauss

PS. Please don’t ask why I never thought to check one of the other 8 million computers in our house. I was lost in space. I didn’t know where I was.

Of course, when I finally told my husband what was up, that was the first thing he did. Go figure.
