What happens when you have no backup
Eventually, when you have no backup of something important for a long period of time, you run the risk of loosing it for good. That's what recently happened to index.php here at fredrik1.com. I was playing around with gzip, in my adventure for a new blogging platform that I want to develop. What I didn't realize is that gzip, by default, deletes the file it has zipped. So, I would say carelessly, I did
gzip index.phpThen I painfully discovered that the file was deleted. There was no backup. I should mention that this almost never happens to me, but this site is a really old project of mine. I had to rewrite index.php, even after analyzing all the empty space on the harddrive. Luckily, when I made this site, I had established the otherwise useless habbit of having a lot of code duplication in the project.
..played around with it..
rm index.php.gz
This time around I'm making real backups.

Future prospects rant
I wish more of my friends could soon suck it up; the future will be what you make of it. I care about my friends, I care about the future. Now, combine! (the future will not care about your next MMORPG achievement). And by the way, you're not off the hook. You've read this far, so you're probably a friend of mine.
