trying to do like 900000 things before leaving for san jose ses…. sorry for comments lost on the whole drug dealing post =(

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?

Wow, that is insane. I have never done that before. Luckily you had a backup.

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.

We all make mistakes, Shoe =) Good on ya for backing up!

Tom said on August 17th, 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.

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

You are an idiot pavs. I hate when people cry racism over nothing.

Sweet, at least you had a backup!

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.

Ian Robertson said on August 17th, 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

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.

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.

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

Happens to everyone Shoe… at least you are diligent with your backups!

Trevor McNotDonald said on August 18th, 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!

Ahh, a classic *slaps forehead* moment. Ive done it before too :/

jim said on August 20th, 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

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…
