So a little roll call for the code monkeys (which I say with great deference): Scola, DXM, Jon B., shrift, Typo, Matt H., Gud, Mr. Burrell et al.
Do you have access to the code? Can you fix it if it goes awry?
I miss Oz. He'd get it. He wouldn't say anything, but he'd get it.

Thanks, Tom. I was figuring you would know.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I guess we could throw it up on github or something. How private can you make github repositories?
I was thinking of Bitbucket -- their private repos are free for up to 5 users, and features are pretty comparable to GH without all the social stuff (that we don't need anyway)

More important, IMHO, is making sure the database is getting backed up regularly.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Agreed, Tom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Liese has been in the Dreamhost account this week, for what that's worth. We're upgrading our account a little.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Yep. I have access to the code. I guess that means I also have access to the data (since the code contains the mysql login info), but I've never messed with the data.

Jon, Liese, I'm so glad -- it's possible that I think too much about bus factors, but, you know, busses.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
More important, IMHO, is making sure the database is getting backed up regularly.
Yes, this.
I was never one of the actual code monkeys. Most of what I did was html on the satellite sites like the archives and filk. (I'd forgotten about pretty much all what I'd worked on except for the logo stuff until I was perusing the Roll Your Own thread today. Kind of fascinating to see how it all came together.) I used to be able to do SQL, but it's been 2½ years since I've done any database development, so I'm probably too rusty for that.
edit: Two people who aren't on Hec's list who did a lot of the heavy lifting were John H and Tom W.
