Frustration, the order of the day
I spent two hours updating all of the files for the next live game, to reflect this year's setting.
In two milliseconds, a single typo in a rm command wiped all of it out. Of course, it's on a brand new server which does not yet automatically back websites up.
If you need me, I will be drinking heavily, with breaks for throwing things.
[Update: I did still have the really-old versions of the files, so I could've been more screwed. Editing them went slightly faster since I knew what needed to be changed, though I can't guarantee that I didn't skip something here or there. The site is back up and functioning, at least.]
