The Road to Reconstruction – Day 3

The first thing I did was makes some tweaks to the Update Archive that I had on my mind at the close of business yesterday. One thing I’ve decided to do was rebrand the Five Arcs as the Six Arcs as there’s now more than enough reason to elevate the Else Arc to the same level as the other five. I was updating the internal links and setting up a redirect so any legacy links won’t be broken. Before getting into the core section of the site, I wanted to chronicle the previous day’s activity, only to get a 403 error when I tried to log in to WordPress. Now, I’d had a similar issue with the wiki the day before, but the problem didn’t affect the blog… until it did. I went through the solutions I could find before finally deciding to contact HostGator for help. They restored access to the blog at the cost of access to the main site. The proposed solution was to set up a subdomain to avoid further disputes over permissions between Drupal and WordPress (and theoretically PMWiki as well). There’s supposed to be a followup, but I’m not sure if I’m expected to do any of it myself.

My motivation level dipped quite a bit after dealing with all that, so I took a nap after supper and when I got up, I started working on rounding out the offline backup with the updated code. That alone can keep me busy a good long while and it was enough to occupy me for the rest of the evening. Between archived versions of the pages via the Wayback Machine and the original database, I was filling in the gaps in my offline archive. Once I have access to the main site again, I can start plugging in the content for the pages. The current situation gives me the opportunity to make more changes to the site than I might otherwise. Once it’s all done, we can welcome Palidor Media 3.0. How long ago was it that I unveiled the 2.0 version of the site? It’s been ages, hasn’t it?

Well, anyway, depending on accessibility, I may just be doing offline work for the foreseeable future. In a bit of good news, I managed to get through my writer’s block on TWH, so whenever I want a break from my work on the code, I could actually get some writing done. Stay tuned.
