Lessons Learned: Reboot for good or bad

Last year around this time I was reworking this very website. Mainly because my previous server had collapsed and died with all of my data. I have yet to re-add my old posts.

There is some content that I miss having on my website, blog posts that were exceptionally written. Things that I loved that I had experienced and written about. Especially live blogging content from conferences like the Telecomix Conference, and a lot of the blog posts that were written about the work that we did in the Telecomix cluster. I’m quite proud of that work we did together, and I miss sharing that information.

I realize that there are about 2 years of blog posts that I can fetch from my old WordPress site. That is still hosted on wordpress.com, maybe that is what I need to do. Right now I am not even sure why I haven’t done such.

I’m always been closer to a jack of all traits than any specialist, but during the time I’m focused on one certain thing most people view me as a specialist in that field, even my Klout score. It has also gotten me jobs in the past.

It would appear that this crash would only bring bad things, losing all that data, while I have found that it gave me a fresh slate to reboot on. Not that it’s been much of a reboot, or maybe that’s exactly what it has been. It gave me time to not write, time to focus on something else.

Today I feel like writing, so today I will take the opportunity to write. Day by day change can occur, day by day I will make new choices and focus on what I feel is the most important thing to me, today.

    I know that feeling of being uncertain about how to tackle such a task, I’ve been hosting my own blog since 2008 and during that time I’ve only had one instance where I’ve needed to completely reinstall the OS (was using Ubuntu) However just recently I lost my internet due to the phone cable being dug up leaving me with no email relay to deal with any mail during the outage! So this had me thinking about the future of self hosting and almost to the point of simply shutting down altogether.

    So just my 2 cents wort!

    Good way of explaining, and nice article to obtain information on the
    topic of my presentation subject matter, which i am going to convey in school.

    Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your weblog. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write some
    articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.

    Please shoot me an e-mail if interested.
    Regards!
