Rookie Mistake

I did it. I deleted the wrong database. I blew away my entire site with the click of one button the other night as I was prepping for a new Drupal migration site. Why didn't I double-check my db configuration before assuming the instance was unused??? Good lord that was stupid. Thankfully Google cache has over a hundred of my stories saved, but what's gone is gone and it's time to rebuild.

So...decision time. Do I recreate all the stories I can dig up? Or do I keep the recipes and start fresh? Good bye, old friends. Hello, new canvas. I'll salvage the goodies and see what I come up with.
