I've Got The Database Blues

Too bad I can't play the harmonica, otherwise there would be a soundtrack to accompany this posting. Then again, given the level of music talent I possess, that's likely a good thing.


We had catastrophe strike here in the ol' AkronNewsNow.com computer center a couple weeks ago. A database had the sniffles and our use of a backup version became entangled as our attack on the problem from two different directions left us back online but without access to the database we built for subscriptions to our daily newsletters and breaking news headlines.


Major embarrassment and it's taken this long to get it fixed so we can start from scratch, not at all fun for the web guru of all things db but necessary. Without getting into the deep specifics the mea culpa, maxima mea culpa should suffice for now but it would be helpful if you would visit this Tiny URL re-subscribe if you'd like to see the newsletter ever again.


Gee, sounds like we're holding it hostage, doesn't it?
