Gone, gone, gone!
I lost my photo gallery. I have backups but not good enough backups that I can get everything back up and online easily. It started with a corrupt table in Gallery2’s database and got worse as I tried to fix things. Anyway, the database is gone but the pictures are in several other places offline. Rebuilding the gallery will take some time. Time I don’t really have.
This has me giving some thought about a lot of things that I have online and what I need to do to ensure that things like this don’t happen again. One option is to quit worrying about the stuff I have online. To be honest, that is looking like the preferred option at this point.
— Update:
I’ve got the gallery back online and a few pictures loaded into it. I doubt I just throw everthing back into the gallery. I think its time that I get a little more discerning over which photos I publish and which I just keep around on my own hard drive.

That is depressing. Glad you got the gallery working again, but sorry about the loss of pictures.
I have gotten all fouled up on my gallery, can’t get it upgraded. Some ID10T error, I am sure. I am inspired to go back and fiddle with it.
You know, I think you are right about not throwing just anything into Gallery. I save too many pictures since I got my new digital camera. Losing data can make you more disciplined about what you save where.

Felix, I still have my pictures, just not online in my gallery. I’m bemoaning the fact that to put things back they way they were I’ll have to recreate each album and load the pictures back into it.
