Blah, I managed to lose a weeks worth of work yesterday.

I was uploading the new php files and the ftp program I was using crashed, leaving the file I was replacing at 0kb.

For some reason, at the same time, my php ide popped up a dialog asking me if I would like to delete my temporary backup file or save it, and the default option was of course DELETE.

As I was hitting enter to close the ftp program and retry, I hit enter for the ide as well, to my dismay, both of my files were gone, and I only had a backup from last week.

So, I’ve been up all night getting back to where I started. On a positive note, screwing up made me motivated to work harder and now I’m almost complete with this project!

Cheers!

I’m trying to optimize a website that has a keyword “collectables (collectibles?!!??!?!??!?!?)” that we need to shoot for.

Searching Google for the term “collectables” yields 76 million results, and no “did you mean to search for collectibles?” link.

Searching Google for the term “collectibles” yields 17 million results, and no “did you mean to search for collectables?” link.

Do you mean to say people will be searching for both variations of my website’s key phrases, and both are correct spellings?!?!? What in St. Peter’s name is this?! Will I have to build backlinks for both variations of my site name?

A quick refresher, maybe I have just forgotten some remedial English, there can’t be two spellings for this same word …

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/collectables

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I guess I will have to expand my link building campaign.

I seriously want to cry, strike up another reason I really hate the English language.

Anyway, now my workload for this website has grown some, it will be challenging and (hmph … educational) though, so cheers!
