I accidentally dropped my entire blog sql (just meant to drop one table) about 5 mins ago and had to restore from last nights backup. Go me =(
trying to do like 900000 things before leaving for san jose ses…. sorry for comments lost on the whole drug dealing post =(

good to see im not the only one who does dum things from time to time
August 21, 2007 at 10:56 pm
Shoemoney’s never lucky haven’t ya hearddd?! :p
I agree though shoe – there is no such thing at luck… I lose at blackjack more times than I win because the odds are against me… I make money online because I work really hard…

Lemme guess… THIS is the reason your title has been messed up recently… honestly man just send me a private email or something it’s driving me nuts :S
August 21, 2007 at 2:28 am
Nice man, hopefully it never happens again.
August 20, 2007 at 8:52 am
i think it’s oversensitivity, if you have to frame something into rascism, then it isn’t. mentioning race doesn’t make it rascist… thanks for playing the card anyway

Ahh, a classic *slaps forehead* moment. Ive done it before too :/
August 18, 2007 at 6:32 pm
I don’t think it was racist either (following on the above comments). Sorry to hear about the blog problems!
August 18, 2007 at 11:54 am
Happens to everyone Shoe… at least you are diligent with your backups!
August 18, 2007 at 10:42 am
Yikes, good think you had it backed up.
Noticed I disappeared from the top commentators section though. Accident or have I fouled up some way
August 18, 2007 at 8:30 am
Heheh.. *waits for the ‘ihatepavs’ website*
August 18, 2007 at 6:01 am
As for shoemoney being a racist, well I have meet the man (and his wife) personally and they have come off as very warm, and I am black. Also, I have chatted with shoemoney *waaaaaay back when he used to hangout on wmr chatroom) and we would talk about things here and there and I told him about my partner in india and not once did he sau anything out of order so my money is on shoe just being a human being.

I hate messing with cron. I dont know if its just my host or lack of experience but I cant get cron to do anything these days.
August 17, 2007 at 9:24 pm
That’s not nice at all.
August 17, 2007 at 7:57 pm
People love to drop the racism card whenever they can…
August 17, 2007 at 6:23 pm
If you have shell access to your shell you should be able to create a cron job that you can set to run a script everynight
here’s a sample of the script I run every night.
#!/bin/bash
TIMESTAMP=`date +%m-%d-%y-%H%M`
cd /backups/mactap
find /backups/mactap/*.tar.gz -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \;
# my database
DBNAME=use_yours
mysqldump --add-drop-table --host=mactap.com -u myusername -pMyPassword $DBNAME > $DBNAME.sql
tar czpf $DBNAME.sql.$TIMESTAMP.tar.gz $DBNAME.sql
rm -f $DBNAME.sql
I hope this sheds some light on a cheap way of backing up a database
August 17, 2007 at 6:11 pm
You should use the drugs you sell
But yay for backups, I have nightly cron running on my servers to backup my sql and site’s code… incase I make booboo’s too.
August 17, 2007 at 5:13 pm
Sweet, at least you had a backup!
August 17, 2007 at 4:44 pm
You are an idiot pavs. I hate when people cry racism over nothing.
August 17, 2007 at 4:43 pm
Can you tell us more about your backup system please. Id really be interested to see a post about it and what you do. I export my databases once a week but it sounds like you have everything daily. Please share some details
August 17, 2007 at 4:16 pm
I had the same reaction. I even sent him an email with an image of his new tee shirt, Shoemoney says Stop Snitchin.
Thought I had really pissed him off.
August 17, 2007 at 3:53 pm
We all make mistakes, Shoe =) Good on ya for backing up!
August 17, 2007 at 3:41 pm
It happens to the best of us. Years ago one sleep-deprived day I once accidentally deleted a whole development environment, histories included, of an entire corporate intranet. Long. Live. Backups.
August 17, 2007 at 3:40 pm
man its happens to the best of them. Another reason to backup ofen!
August 17, 2007 at 3:39 pm
lol, for a moment there i thought you didn’t like the comments and deleted them
August 17, 2007 at 3:32 pm
Quickly, type this into a shell: DROP DATABASE Shoemoney_Blog;
August 17, 2007 at 3:25 pm
At least you know how to restore your DB…I F**ked up about a week ago and….well….I rather not talk about it
August 17, 2007 at 3:14 pm
actually not luck
. Its hard to shoot from the hip without a good backup system.
August 17, 2007 at 3:13 pm
Wow, that is insane. I have never done that before. Luckily you had a backup.
August 17, 2007 at 3:03 pm
First, pavs wtf? there wasnt a single racist comment in that post. And insulting the dude with the microphone or blog is not a smart idea.
Second,can it really be racism if Indian is a nationality and not a race?
August 17, 2007 at 2:59 pm
One of the few times I leave a comment too….grrrr
August 17, 2007 at 2:46 pm
hmm nice job genbucks fast track to the shoemoney shitlist
August 17, 2007 at 2:39 pm
yea thats what it is i’m racist you fucking moron.
August 17, 2007 at 2:37 pm
i know u tried to defend it later with your respect for indians and seo meet thingy, but for a moment there u went racist.for sure. stupid ass neighbours cud be anyone so why “highlighting” the indian bit? bad flavour.tsk.
