My web hosts, XCalibre, decided to upgrade the web server and rolled back all the files by four days, so some posts have gone missing. The lesson here is – back everything up! Want I want is a Movable Type plugin that will mail me the full text of every post. Perhaps such a plugin exists. From memory, the missing posts were:
- A link to an amusing onion article about a chap who is disappointed to recieve a gift of a non-widescreen DVD.
- My commentary on the fallout from the Soham trial. I find it disturbing that sentiments were being expressed such as:
Concerns have been raised about how Soham murderer Ian Huntley was allowed to work with children despite past allegations of rape and underage sex.
It would be unfortunate if, as a result of this case, people were barred from taking up certain jobs as a result of mere allegations. The fault lies with those who did not follow up the allegations properly to reach a conviction in the first (ten) place(s). - A link to a Samizdata article about the European Parliament of Looters awarding themselves pay rise. What do MEPs do anyway, and does anyone think we get value for money from being in the EU?
