...I hit 'compose mail' on the other window and sat here baffled on how and why i wasn't getting the lj update screen...

I'm going on an hour of sleep. After dealing with bad Italian hackers (still dealing with them a little) and trying to fix archives (booo, Italian hackers, you have achived what the Turkish hackers last year could not, booo, I say!) and loading and checking the new version of efiction (more filling, less chance of hacks), I crawled into bed at 4:20am only to have to be up soon after because Mark had to be at work at 6:00am. Which means, I had to be up, dressed, have his lunch packed, and drive him over before 6am. Boo to that as well.

From Pounce! have 330 chapters or stand alone stories downloaded. I am not even halfway done. I can't seem to do upgrades on the old versions of the archives, since there is not sitekey because I was using version 1.1 and they're up to 3.3 now, and it's being bad on that. Crappers.

DreamElf and Sunshine and Shadow will be practically impossible to transfer. I don't want to be all 'guess what, we're starting from scratch!' but I have this terrible feeling that is what will happen...

I should explain... the files are saved without title information, just in author folders, but they are just given numbers for the save files. So playing the match game is interesting.

For me it will be really interesting. I can't get into the sites, the logins are blocked somehow. And I can't see the lists of things. And there are many, many stories I wrote outside of the PPB-AU that I can't recall the titles of.

New Titles Celebration Impending! I am sure of it!

HP tonight. Mrrr.. I am going to head out of here early and get my butt some sleep. Yes, I am.

Gives you some of Elrond's patent 'you can do without sleep' tea. :D

Ah, sweetie, seriously, let me know if I can help. I may be able to come up with some "automated" transfer scripts or something. You shouldn't have to do this all on your own!

And, maybe we can figure out how to archive a copy of the site such that restoration will be easier.

Just e-mail me or YIM!

Get some sleep first!

Just the thought of having to reupload 207 chaps of The Fire Dance makes me cringe....let me know when you need for me to begin doing that.

Oddly, I was going chapter by chapter and copy pasteing the chaps into one big long stream in Word...Sunshine and Shadow was the only place I had teh full betad verion...got my beta at Ch97 so everywhere else would be unbetad till then...I took a break at 100 chaps...odd that I felt it was important I do this at that time...

I feel for you...I do not envy the work ahead for you

*Hugs*

1.1 - I knew I should have upgraded, what, two years ago? Year and a half? That's what I get for being lazy. And also for not really keeping an eye on my sites.

Also hacked into, my coppermine galleries. Bastards. Those were easier to fix though.

Wish they'd have waited until next week, y'know, after I'd read the HP novel... lol.
