Jason Alba, who invented the Job Seeker’s best-friend, included me in his blog carnival today.  And, he said such nice things about me that I had to just post back and say:

Blog Backup Scare
Ouch. Well, the fact that you can read this is a good thing. I had an issue today when suddenly my blog went down. It appears that, while I was posting something, mySql freaked out on me right then and corrupted my wordpress_options table.

Say ‘Hell, No’ to iProvo
