Data has been restored, thankfully. Most journal posts are, well, journal posts, but there’s bits and pieces that I’d be sad never to see again.
So, I can see them again, and am pleased.
I suspect that morphing this (very bland) theme is going to be something that is done, slowly, over a tediously long time. I’m hoping that I write more stuff instead.
So where was the data, if the backups were gone?
Spread far and wide. I dug through old drives and pulled some from LiveJournal.
