Sometimes, it pays to pay attention

I wish I could blame it on Bush. That his speechifying was distracting me.

But no, it was just using Dreamweaver after a long time of not-using it.

I spent tonight (as I'd planned even before Jenn asked me to today) putting up the games we have for the The Black Road's event book. I formatted the entries to match the design I've chosen, and then, when done and all was well (it didn't take too long, since we don't have very many games), I uploaded the file.

Or so I thought!

In my regular FTP program, I copy the files from the left to the right, moving from local to remote. But see, I was using Dreamweaver's internal FTP, since the site was designed in it and all.

Yep, you guessed it. The panels are reversed. So I copied the online, old book, over the new one I'd just revised.

All changes are gone. Poof. Just like that.

*sigh*

Bush is rambling on the TV in the background, warmongering. I wish I could say it was all his fault.

But it's really not. Not for this.

Ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch.

As someone himself who's watched an entire site wiped out by the vagueries of a publishing program, you have my sympathy.

Well, something good came out of it!

Because I made this a blog entry, Jack remembered to submit his game. Plus two more player registrations showed up in my mailbox this morning.

Maybe I should plug the con more in the blog?
