While working on a mundane detail for this site last weekend, I thought it’d be fun to run “rake test” on my Typo blog install to evaluate their testing framework. Instead, this experiment quickly became an evaluation of my own ability to frantically reconstruct my suddenly vaporized blog.

Apparently, when I first configured my blog, I set my “test” Rails database settings as the same as development and production, hosing everything with that one command. Lesson learned.

If you’re reading my blog from an RSS reader, you’ll probably see every single blog post again. Sorry about that. Google Reader also snatched up a lot of draft blog posts that were mostly lists of blog post ideas completely unintended for the public eyes to see. Again, sorry about that. Things are now back up and actually better than before.
