Disaster Recovery on the Cheap
Things were excessively interesting yesterday at Ziff, as my debut column at eWeek.com notes. The only reason that eWeek.com kept updated during the day on Monday was because I slapped up a Wiki, based on sample code from the MacPython distribution (mad props to Jack Jansen), on my personal web host (that would be the server you’re reading this off of). We used the Wiki to provide a common workspace for the folks with no e-mail or VPN access, so they could shovel copy over to the few people who could get onto the content management system.
