Argh, part 7,903.

Albatross!I’m sitting here watching KTUL showing, at almost 3 in the morning, a live shot of a rotating wall cloud marching into Tulsa County, and I’m thinking “man, am I glad I don’t live in Tulsa County.” Still, pretty amazing stuff…to watch from a distance of two hours away. No disrespect intended toward any TV weather guys or gals I’ve ever worked with in the past, but the guys at KTUL know how to make a show out of this stuff. I love the Wall Cloud Channel…so long as it’s not in my back yard.

Regarding some of the site issues yesterday: I have the PDF Media Archive back up and running, though I still need to tweak some stuff to get it back to where it was. Nothing in the database was lost. Scared the crap out of me though. (That’s okay. I don’t need that crap in me.) Still not sure what to do about the Scribblings issues – I’m trying to decide how brave I am about going in and editing the database item by item to eliminate the anomalous data. I’m trying to decide if that’ll just make me exasperated enough that I just want to fill the damned database with creamy nougat and walk away from it. Don’t get me wrong – moving the site as a whole toward a database-driven future has been nothing but a good thing so far. I can stop sweating over code for the most part, and just generate the content. But at the same time, this incident has been a reminder of how much greasy, hands-on control I relinquish in so doing, backups or no.
