Do you remember my table structure?
I think the worst part of the whole host transfer deal was the relatively old age of my last MySQL backup. I always keep updated versions of my PHP files close by, may it only be because I am always working on something new, so at least all the programming logic has migrated successfully.
However, all the tables and database structure I had built stayed with Abnormis. Hopefully my old server will come back online so I can get some of the content back, but I am really just interested in how I had built my tables. I don’t even remember most lengths and data types of the columns. Even my PHP source code can’t give me much hints at the moment.
At least this morning I was able to reconnect the user table. This means future posters and tankers can already join the Tank… and do nothing afterward. Hopefully I’ll have the news working by early afternoon.
The moral of the story is that a backup, when you are developing, is always too old.
And damn do I need to fix the transparent issues with IE 6 as soon as possible.
