Just a quick idea for everyone to digest before I go out to enjoy a Friday night of drinking. My friend builds amazing websites for all kinds of companies, celebrities, musicians, etc...
AND HE DOES IT ALL FROM THE BASEMENT OF HIS PARENTS HOUSE! AND HALF THE TIME HE IS WRITING CODE OR DESIGNING A SITE FROM HIS LAPTOP LINKED TO HIS COMPUTER AT HOME.
We were in Puerto Rico on vacation one day and he was on his lap top logged into his home computer at home making changes to a clients website. I didn't care because the reason we were on vacation in the first place was because of the money he was getting to design the clients site.
All I'm saying is that whoever was building the site. Whether it was a company or a well respected individual. They could have been working on it on their main computer in their basement (where flooding may have occurred) and since it never rains in the southern Cali area they probably never gave it a thought to losing info due to flooding. There is also a good chance that they were working on the site through a laptop linked to a main computer or server. The programmer could have been on the other side of the country for all we know and had no idea that the main computer and server were in danger...
Now, I'm sure there are back ups or at least earlier versions of the new site saved on the programmers lap top or portable hard drive, or what have you... and they are working hard to bring an earlier version of that they have up to date, or finding a new server etc...
This is also the reason why they had a counter counting down to aftermarket Friday. This way if anything did go wrong they would have time (Saturday and Sunday) to fix it.
***I think this is going to be my last post for a while. Everyone claims to be "long" and "behind Paul 100%" but there's just too many posts from people who immediately freak out over small set backs. Hey that's life. If Paul doesn't bounce back from it, then call him out on it, but let him do his thing. He's been upfront and hasn't steered us wrong so far. Goodnight and goodbye for a while.
