Novelist in Paradise Redux

Here’s another classic example of Balinglish:

So I was hacked, see.

And then my host server’s Special Circumstances squad deactivated me without warning for having a virus and malware in my files.  These files were old and wonky and as full of bugs as a Bali dog, so I decided to wipe clean and start afresh.

I backed up my files.

But lo and behold, I cannot restore them. As my young son says, I am an Old Man, plodding down the Internet on my caveman’s oxcart*.   Thus it seems I have lost all my blog posts for the past few years.

Well, I wasn’t re-reading them.

* Dischronicity here:  an oxcart implies wheels and animal husbandry, which would have been beyond a caveman’s skills.
