Interval

On Dec. 30 I found out that the website of my friend, who hosted mine, had been infected with a virus, along with all of the other sites he hosted.

He worked on recovering all of his subaccounts, of which mine was, by far, the least important. I was not deriving any income from mine, as others were from theirs. About 2 weeks later, while still expecting my site to be recovered, I wrote what I expected to be my last blogpost. I had had an insight which had me feel like I was actually done with what appeared to be my primary purpose in this life. Though I have received input from others relaying their doubts about that, which may be valid, I actually feel more done now than I did when I wrote it back in January.

Within days, in some cases weeks, my friend had gotten all of his sites back up, except mine and one other. I was told it was irretrievable. Though it did appear that there was a potential way to get it back up, I was hitting one roadblock after another, after another, after another. Eventually I came to rest in the realization that I was not intended to recover it.  So, in early March I did finally acknowledge that it was gone for good.

I sent that “final” post to the few friends that I remembered were subscribers, ending it with Frequency Soup RIP. Since I did not have access to the subscribers list on the site, most of you did not get it.

To keep this short, some things broke loose a couple of weeks ago, which presented a way to recover the website. I had been referred to a company earlier in the year that might be able to help, but at that time the technical situation and the data were not sufficient for them to make use of. I was now in a position to give them what they needed. Though more difficulties ensued, it is now back to where it was at the end of last year.

One oddity is that what was recovered had more subscribers than I recall having. So perhaps some receiving this had unsubscribed in the past. If that is the case for you, you will need to do that again.

That “final” blogpost will follow, exactly as I sent it out to friends, under the title that I originally gave it. Whether it will actually be my last, is yet to be determined. I have not been inclined to write since then, but time will tell…perhaps.
