missing post update
The lost posts from the first half of the month are back, as are your wonderful comments. Yay. The photos from that period are still missing, but will be restored presently. The only thing is that the post and comment IDs have changed, so if you happen to have bookmarked or linked to any of them (haha, as if) you will need to update those links.
As to what happened in the first place, I'll tell you someday over a beer. It's too hot and frustrating to go into it now!
