zolaTired today, but I think the overall disaster cleanup is complete. Worst we had happen is one file didn't properly overwrite, and it only affected a lesser-used, private portion of the site--all the major stuff was fine. Only reason I didn't check it was it had a popup login to access the area and I didn't have the latest password and sure as hell wasn't going to call the poor owner to find out what it was at that hour.
One more minor bit on a site to finish, and I can wrap that up I think, and we're still waiting on the owner of the latest project to get back to us on why we can't seem to retrieve the proper data for his new graphs--there's another site that runs off a different source and that's perfect, and everywhere else we put it, it's perfect, so that tells us it's not the new code but rather the base data causing the problem.
It may be that we will have to re-download everything, I'm honestly not sure. That takes several days, so... hoping to avoid it.
The really ironic part of all this is that yesterday was the first day of my new, improved schedule. I've been sort of noting when I do things, like when I start getting hungry and thinking about lunch, and when I tend to really need a break, when is the best time for me to attack a particularly sticky problem, and so forth.
So, based on my observations, I had worked out a schedule for myself that would make sure that I was getting sufficient downtime as well as work time... and disaster happened, leading me to ask "Why did I even bother?"
Still, just as my email system is very robust and handles me getting flooded with mail and being too busy to deal with it (without my losing track of the important mails from clients), so I am hoping the new schedule will prove equally robust. Monday and today were just emergency days, so I can't use that as any kind of an indicator. I'll know the schedule is working right if I feel like I have a grip on my time, and that's going to take a week or two to find out.
Sensibly, we ordered pizza for dinner, and it was good.
