Holy Week Hell! What a contradiction. And I thought I was going to have a lovely vacation Thursday to Sunday. But noooo…. suddenly Server 22 was down and out. A couple of angry customers text and email me.
At first I contacted the data center. They were working on it. Technical details. They were working on it again. More technical details. No cigar, have to do a bare metal restoration of Server 22. Must wait again for several hours. Then more waiting when it came to the actual data. And finally the data center says their backups were corrupted as well. All 7 backups? I asked. They said all 7 backups.
Is that a major stressor or what?
Now where did I have my own 8th backup? Aha, it’s here, but I have to painfully manually restore them one by one while the data center gave me a new server with a new IP address. Good I invested in a solid dns server service, just one stroke, all IP addresses changed.
So Wednesday evening stressed. Initiated my own restore. Slept while restore was running. Thursday morning, rush to configure each and every website. Then Friday monitor. Saturday we had to move houses. From the fort, back to marikina. You remember the flood last year? house fixed, we moved back. house is bare. Zero. Buy stuff again.
In 2006 when I had a server disaster I was so stressed I got candida. I learned to do the VCO detox then to cure that candida episode. But now that I’m on raw paleo diet with high fat, low carb in proportions, I handled this stress like a champ. No candida whatsoever, nothing to feed it.
I just had my normal pure food. Raw meat, fresh raw coconut juice and coconut meat, and some guavas.
It’s Sunday evening. No vacation for me. Hope you had a nice vacation yourself.
