Many thanks to my nephew Derek Kaser, who rode to the rescue of this blog when I’d waded in over my head in matters of database versions. 24 hours ago I managed to shut myself out of editing this blog. 12 hours ago I’d managed to erase all the content. By 8 hours ago my nephew had restored all of the content and added some new security measures. (If you notice a new look, it’s because he also changed some things on that end, but one must allow the tech folks their little jokes, no?)
Thanks once again to Derek.
[P.S. I just noticed that some conversations have been truncated in the melee. Please, if your comment got deleted, don't take it as a personal slight--keep reading and responding, and I vow here and now that I will return to conscientious file backup. Then again, I already back my files up before I update anything nine times out of ten--this was one of those perfect storm moments, I suppose.]






I liked my blog customizations…
For shame. You’ll never be able to face your students again.
Well, I do have an image to maintain. I’ve already lost credibility when I tell my students to back their files up; I can’t give up my Hoosier credentials as well.
