Things have not progressed very rapidly for PageForest over the past
week. We just passed a big milestone at the OTHER startup I'm working
on (Blue Dot), so I've been paying more attention to that lately.But,
thanks to Zach, we've set up better infrastructure for source control
and bug reporting using hosted-projects.com. As I was transitioning
between source control servers, I accidentally deleted our PageForest
database. This was due to a) my inexperience using SQL Server
Management Studio (SSMS) and b) poor design of SSMS (I thought I was
just "detaching" a database file from SQL Server, when in fact, SSMS
actually DELETES your database file - yikes!)I actually thought I had
lost the database for good (including all the early signups for our
mailing list). After crying and banging my head against the wall, I
took a break and went to a movie with Deb (Hairspray - quite good by
the way). When I got back, I found my data hiding in a database copy I
had made along the way. Now all restored. Whew!
