several months ago, i came to an agreement with myself that i was going to spend ONE day a week on my OWN projects. no if ands or buts. so today was that day for me.
for those of you who’ve known me for many years, you know that i went on a year long music ministry team after i graduated from college. if you followed my travels back then, you probably remember reading my blog on thisroad.org.
you may also remember how my travel blog was abruptly lost due to my web host (at the time) having a major server crash.. which also corrupted all the site backups.
so i lost *months* of journal entries from the US and danmark…
or so i thought.
i don’t know if it didn’t occur to me to check archive.org’s wayback machine.. or if i didn’t find anything. back then. but there they were. most of my entries (i still think i lost about a half a month right around the server crash.. but still. much better than losing 9 months!)
and i just spent the past 6 hours copying and pasting each entry from the archive into this blog. (and i even searched my hard drive to find and re-upload the images that went with the entries… because i’m crazy)
now my next project is to finish re-uploading all the photos i took while on that year long tour.
and yes. i have completely lost my mind.

wow, tray, that’s awesome! i’m so glad you didn’t lose everything after all. I’ve lost some months of blog archives myself, and i’d give so much to have those missing pockets back. maybe i should check out your method for myself.

@julia yeah i was surprised. i can’t remember if i checked archive.org or not before. it was kinda crazy going back through all the old designs of my site as well. the way-back machine even had some images and flash files archived.. it was pretty cool.
