A couple of days ago, I finally completed writing an article walking through creating a "Poor Man's ESX Server". After a few iterations, edits, and validations, it was ready to go. In fact, that was supposed to be today's article. Except that Joomla did something, I cannot determine what (yet), and now my article is gone. Completely gone, like I never wrote it.
What!?
How? Why? WTF?
Over week's work, just...gone.
Now I face a dilemma, and I'm unsure how to proceed...
To start, I am done with Joomla. Done and done... Granted, some of the challenges I have been facing *MAY* be due to user error, and am willing to admit and address this. My thoughts here are to just rebuild the site from scratch, not export/backup and then restore (as I have been since I started this site). It is entirely possible/likely that something has become corrupt over time/backups/restores.
But if I am going to rebuild, do I necessarily want to rebuild it with Joomla? At this moment, no, not at all.
That means learning something new, and while I am typically happy to learn new, I don't have all that much time right this moment. And then that means that any and all existing links to my site will all be rendered useless... unless I do something about redirects, which is yet more learning, and more delays. Or forget the links and redirects and just start anew...?
So then do I stick with Joomla despite how much it's been pissing me off? Maybe give it one last chance to fully redeem itself?
Ugh... Decisions, decisions...
