It turns out, I was not dead.
So, my hard drive died. It died the same weekend that I had replaced my laptop, where all my files were backed up. It died two days before my new external backup drive arrived.
I gave a thousand dollars to a specialty company that attempted to physically restore my drive, but after five months they let me know that it couldn't be done.
I gave up.
And then, today, I realized that the blog database, unlike all of the static content, was stored in a different partition, on a different hard drive. Maybe it's ridiculous I didn't discover this until now. But I don't care.
Everything has been restored.
I probably won't be doing too much blogging for a while, and I may not bother restoring some of the old features. But I will update all the books I've read, which I've kept offline these last months. Though no one cares about that but me.
Over and out.
Oh, and comics will eventually be restored. Alas, Excel art has been lost forever.
