Yay. I’ve got all of my graphics back somewhere in a 60+ meg zip file.  Now all I have to do is find them, re-sort them, re-upload them, and go through all my blog posts and re-map the img src links <sigh>  That should only take me… oh… a week or so.. [;)]

Again, I have no way of knowing.  I suspect it will be easier to find the graphics in the resurrected global shared graphics file, download them as I find them, reupload them and remap the blog posts.. I’m doing that slowly but surely.

The next night, the same thing happened…  9pm failed, […]
