    good to see im not the only one who does dum things from time to time :)

    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… :P

  3. Grivon

    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

  4. STUART Hannig

    Nice man, hopefully it never happens again.

    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 :/

  7. Trevor McNotDonald

    I don’t think it was racist either (following on the above comments). Sorry to hear about the blog problems!

  8. Click Input

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

  9. Coin Counter

    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 ;)

  10. Nathan

    Heheh.. *waits for the ‘ihatepavs’ website* :)

    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.

  13. sandossu

    That’s not nice at all.

  14. cooliojones

    People love to drop the racism card whenever they can…

    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

  16. Ian Robertson

    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.

  17. Matt Huggins

    Sweet, at least you had a backup!

  18. Travel Notebook

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

  19. Travel Notebook

    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

  20. Tom

    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. :)

  21. Modern Worker

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

  22. bl.asphemo.us

    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.

  23. CPA Affiliates

    man its happens to the best of them. Another reason to backup ofen! :)

  24. Sami

    lol, for a moment there i thought you didn’t like the comments and deleted them

  25. Jeremy Steele

    Quickly, type this into a shell: DROP DATABASE Shoemoney_Blog;

  26. PrintnPost

    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

  27. ShoeMoney

    actually not luck ;) . Its hard to shoot from the hip without a good backup system.

  28. Bryan

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

  29. king jacob

    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?

  30. RobMalon

    One of the few times I leave a comment too….grrrr ;)

  31. rog

    hmm nice job genbucks fast track to the shoemoney shitlist

  32. ShoeMoney

    yea thats what it is i’m racist you fucking moron.

  33. pavs

    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.
