Oh noooo....

Go to look at pitas and discover--

pitas.com expired on 03/09/2010 and is pending renewal or deletion

though it was up yesterday for sure. Am so glad last year's crash got me back to paper diaries for the weather observations and daily minutia. But [livejournal.com profile] paleaswater's so useful blog... gone gone gone. To say nothing of seven years of weather observations and daily minutia. Addio del passato indeed.

ETA-- wayback gets me up to Feb 2005 for M's blog, at least. Not a total loss.

Awww! Bad that we assume things will be available forever.

And in the event, today it seems to be back again. Now, how to back up a pitas blog...

Oh, I might have kept a copy somewhere. Let me check

It seems to have returned. I know you mirrored your LJ posts from pretty early on, but a copy somewhere might be a good idea.

Okay, I move all the pitas posts to LJ, backdated and tagged pitas. If you just go to tag pitas on my lj you'll see them.

My lj's not mirrored anymore though.. Hmm.. have to think about backing these up.

Oh, yes, I see you did. Can you lj-cut that entry? It takes up most of my friends' page as it stands.

Oh, that's weird. I thought if I back dated to 2004 it it won't show up. Let me see

It's back. And you can't takea pitas blogs down; it's the great drawback/ feature of the thing. Sabina managed to make hers pretty inaccessible- an odd tagging system for the archive- but it's too late after the fact. Also without metatags, the thing's searchable on wayback.

Ah-- in the same vein, is something up with Aestheticism? I tried a couple of days ago and couldn't access it.

Very much up. Was hacked a while ago, and we don't have the password to get in and see what did the damage because our server was also hacked.

Oh dear, that sucks. D:
