Let's start with getting the bad news out of the way first. As part of the server upgrade this week, the server changed IP addresses. I didn't notice, because the host was kind enough to leave the old server information up for 72 hours before deleting it. Unfortunately, this means that any changes made in the last 72 hours were more or less lost to the abyss as they pointed to an old server that I no longer am able to access.
I've learned something here on this day folks. That thing being put the site into maintenance mode during server changes until the IP can get updated, so I don't end up with two branching copies of the site, one of which branches right into a big ol pit of lava. :') And also to check my spam folder because that is where all this information went straight to from my host rip,
Somehow a rollback / data loss has never happened before, and we will hope that it does not happen again.
I do keep daily backups. Unfortunately in this case, the information getting backed up did not in fact include anything happening later this week.Good News
The Catmint Tea item has been implemented and is now operational. I've also increased the odds of Nestor giving you babies, because it does seem it was happening a little more infrequently than I'd prefer.
You and I? We can drown our sorrows in babies.
